Aircooled all the way..... for me anyway, i only see the oil boilers as a donor bike...... i'll get me coat......

As @Gixer1460 says, do yourself a favor , start at the beginning, get the carbs ultrasonic cleaned, change all seals, check the float height, emulsion tubes,needles,check slide diaphragms, check carb rubbers, fuel lines and vac line, replace as necessary, clean out the tank, clean out pet cock, fresh clean fuel, as in put the carbs back to a good standard condition and then at least you have a base line to work from. if the mains have no markings, don't try and guess the size of them, throw them in the bin and buy new, as you won't know what they are and no one else will either. change the plugs, plug caps, check the cam timing, change the oil and filter before attempting to start basically check everything. maybe that will fix the non running on one of the cylinders, if it does balance the carbs, check the ignition timing and adjust as per the manual. for carb balancing it does not matter what mains are in it for balancing. 115 ish mains and 40 pilots is about about right. looking at the state of it the clutch cable is probably seized. coils look normal to me, but show them a rag and check connections and make sure they are clean there isn't a magic fix and guessing won't help, work through it methodically and solve one problem at a time. oh and ffs give it a wash, and............. an introduction in the general section!

i thought you had removed the dj kit?

i got mine from dj, you will get them from robinsons

Pop over to the general section RTFR and introduce yourself properly. you are more likely to get an answer Then start a thread and post some pics, we like pics

probably not, hence the loctite, you might have some success with lapping paste if they are not too far out from each other, the loctite works though, but be aware once cured it won't be easy to get apart again.

I use loctite high strength retainer, bit of c##t to get undone again though

An introduction in the general section will help as will RTFR........

i wouldn't, if they are worn you will end up chasing the fault, stick new ones in pref with new needles, you can ignore them if the fault still exists, you could not really tell mine were worn except with a vernier caliper, but they were, new ones sorted it. my mixture screws are 2 1/2 out, i would set yours back to factory and go from there, but you won't sort anything if there are leaks from vac tap or carb rubbers, misfiring? maybe, check plugs leads etc

Agree, does seem that way, how do you tell the genuine OSS??, maybe the ones that follow the rules, welcome BTW, A introduction in the general section and RTFR will loosen a few tongues

there you go, not called haynes book of lies for nothing welcome

no worries, i will get some better pics if you want them

here ya go

i am biased towards the earlier bikes, so see these as a donor really, but i think the no faring straight bars style for these suits them very well, but if its very tidy, them maybe leave it alone, it does look it nice regardless
