Still carb issues
A few weeks back I asked about a flat spot at low revs. I swapped the carbs from my z1r and it ran beautifully, put them back, still flat spot. I also noted that pipes 3 and 4 took a bit longer to get as hot as 1 and 2. I put new keyster parts in carbs 3 and 4, still flat spot, I can get a nice blue flame on 1 and 2 but only yellow on 3 and 4, even if I screw the mixture screw full in or full out same yellow, at a loss, are the carb bodies knackered?

Re: Still carb issues
Thanks for the offer Paul, chatting with Dave Marsden today, he has a couple of sets he will sell if I need them, it's really frustrating, can't see owt wrong with them, just can't get the buggers to work right, if you have the bodies for 3 and 4 in good order I might take them off you.

Re: Still carb issues
if its only on 3-4 i would swap the coils round if you haven't already done so ?
Re: Still carb issues
I had a similar problem, I fitted a pingel fuel tap and the bike ran a lot better.

If you screw the mixture screw in and out with no change there is your problem, surely. I'd be very thoroughly blasting out those passages and sonic cleaning those bodies.

Re: Still carb issues
does it have the mixture screws under the carbs?
Re: Still carb issues
Yes screw is underneath, it's the fuel mixture screw, so the nrp carbs man told me, had the carbs off again today, all the passage ways are clear and we'll flushed out, got me truly baffled

Re: Still carb issues
I bought two new keyster rebuild kits for 3 and 4, fitted the new parts, I wonder if the new parts are at fault. Can't see that tho .

Re: Still carb issues
I have a set of A1 thou 26mm carbs, non vac tap, they have been sonic cleaned, float levels set, slides bench set, 15 pilots 102.5 mains, if you pay the postage to and fro you are welcome to give them a go.
Re: Still carb issues
have you tried using a couple of the old mixture screws?
Re: Still carb issues
have you tried using a couple of the old mixture screws? there are small holes in the throat of the carb body by the slides this is the main cause of not being able to correct the mixture

Thanks for your kind offer Kevin, I know it's the carbs for sure, so no need to try other set, thanks again.
