The manual I’ve downloaded is for the slide type and the correct model. I’ll source the correct rubbers and take from there. Thanks again.

Thanks. Confirmed what I was thinking. These were new rubbers that I fitted. I’ve tried adjusting and tightening numerous times. Can it be anything other than the rubbers? I remember seeing that these rubbers should be left and right I asked for this when I ordered them but they all came back with 454R marked on them. May get back on to the supplier. These things are not cheap!! Thanks Russ, I’ve downloaded a manual which gives all the jet sizes and settings so next step is to take them off and see what I’ve got. Pretty sure it’s 2&3 that are causing the problem. Going to do a compression test for a bit piece of mind. Really can’t find any issues with the intake rubbers. Cheers.

Gents, Reading this topic with great interest. I have a GSX750 E that I’ve customised so can’t use the standard airbox. The bike is complete but I’m not good with carbs so entrusted a local tech to balance the carbs and set up ready for an MOT. He couldn’t get the original carbs set up properly but had a set of Mikuni flat sides which I think are from a GSXR750 slabside. They are stamped 27A 10 and are 29mm. He persuaded me these would be the better option. He serviced and balanced them allegedly!! and I eventually collected the bike believing it was ready to be MOTd. Once home I noticed fuel coming from the float bowl overflows. Which would get worse. Also the engine rpm raced on and didn’t return to idle when the throttle was blipped. I fitted new float bowl jets and a new float to replace the one with a pin hole in it. This fixed the overflow issue. Also a broken accelerator pump lever was replaced. Now it won’t idle below 2000rpm and if the throttle is blipped the rpm races away. It does this even with the throttle cables disconnected. I now don’t believe anything the tech told me and don’t want to go anywhere near him again. Before I strip the flatsides again am i missing something obvious? am I flogging a dead horse and would I be better off refitting the original carbs and following Russ’s lead? Advice would be welcome.
