I have fitted a new set of carbs to my race bike, new ram air from RLR but one of the slides refuses to litf, hence running like a bag o shite.
Slide lifts and falls at same rate and ease with a finger as other, so think a air way must be blocked, any ideas where to look first??
Would ask Rick at RLR but he is at the NW200 so dont want to bother him.

the bigger tube vents feed the top of the slide try blowing some air from the compressor through that. The slides should lift.
The comp should be set to a low pressure. 30psi should do. lightly press the trigger on the blow gun.

as tarmac said.

would also check carb to engine rubber for seating and any cracks or splits.

Sorted,

Wont go into it, but lets say the inlet was blocked, some peeps never learn

Write out 100 times, I will not poke things into my carbs and expect the bike to run properly!

Actally just finished my lines, and they read "I must not leave tissue shoved down the inlet port when I have fitted the carbs and expact my bike to run"

LOL- that is a good one Aly...

Would not mind but is the second time I have done it in 3 months!!
