Running rough
I've just changed the carb rubbers on my NC30 & gave the carbs an overhaul while I was at it. I added extra 0.5mm shims to the needles also. Since putting it back together it sounds like its idling / running very rough with a lot of exhaust popping that wasn't there before. I've heard stories about the extra shims causing side affects. Is this what I'm experiencing?
Any help appreciated.

Re: Running rough
Did you balance the carbs at the same time? Popping and flames indicates an air leak so the carbs may not be seated correctly.

Re: Running rough
Yes, I balanced them while I was at it (drill bit method). The rubbers were extremely hard so maybe something didn't seat right but I checked the fronts with a torch & everything seemed ok?
