AN wanted $24 dollars to send me 2 transfers for my side covers. I couldn’t believe it and sent an email to them and they said that’s what it cost.These transfers could slip into a small envelope! I found another source.
Have a look on " I say Ding dong " they have cheap freight .
I was quoted nigh on the same ($23.88) for a single A4 sized sheet of paper (old ad flyer) from US to UK.
All carburetors will cough and fart when cold why they say tune your carbs when up to running temp as for dialing in your mixtures every bike is different and needle setting can be different in each carb, but if its running good once warmed up then you must be pretty close and if it's starting easy.
As well timing has to be spot on and spark plugs as well but you have to adjust your air mixtures to your motor as I say every motor is different, set it close, take it for a ride and take a small screw driver with you and adjust as you go might have to reset the idle if its to high or to low, put your hands over near the end of your mufflers to get an idea if both cylinders are running the same, I do things by ear and feel, don't use no special devices or gauges but then I have a good ear when turning carbs and the over all running will tell you when things are right, but everything has to work together, timing setting and carbs must be all sink together for good running.
I hear what you're saying.
Yeah I like it too . A big windy open field though that picks up plenty of dust to stick to the chain . Sold off a bunch of used Norton thingys last year when Covid restrictions ended . Camped overnight between 2 giant trailers and the O.N.O. small group . Next year .
James, that bike of yours is coming along so nicely. I'm salivating over all the high-end components you've installing on that bike! You must be spending a large fortune building your masterpiece
It looks amazing and thanks for sharing photos of your progress.
Not good!
That's next on my shopping list for my Commando, or just get the position right next time. I guess somehow I got the stroke wrong and air/gas ignites in the airbox/cylinder and kicks the starter lever back at you. These RGM levers are a little worse for this as they increased leverage for us also means increased leverage for the bike and when it decides to slap you back it really gives a good whack! Anyway, now I know why there is an insistence on solid workboots. I wear Redwing boots usually - I have a few pairs (many actually). But this time I wore a more casual leather boot that I wear around the garage when I'm working.
