Guest Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) Hi Guys and girls sorry to be asking a carb question again,well my bandit it back together and running alot better i eliminated the slight coughing i had from the carbs by adjusting the mixture screws they are out at 3 1/4 turns and all seems fine but im sure that is to much even though it runs pretty good,i have been told that 2 1/2 turns is about the norm.if i screw them in to the 2 1/2 turns it pops and backfires from the exhaust on tickover the only mod i have is a race can ive checked the plugs and they are a very dark chocolate brown colour but as of yet i have not taken it on a good run,Is it the norm to run the mixture screws that far out the carbs are clean and ive double checked everything (had the carbs off 7 times now) the bike runs spot on and has plenty of power only has a slight stumble around 2k rpm Edited March 29, 2016 by yellowcakeuf6 Quote Link to comment
Phill106 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) Tbh if it feels good at 3.25 turns then leave it at that, the 2.5 turns is just a guide to get things running so it can be fine tuned. Just keep playing with them. If you want to get more exact you could try a carb balancer or a a/f meter. Depends how precise you want/need to be for the application. the pops/bangs could just be unburnt fuel from playing with it. Tune it to where it sounds right, take if for a run, then adjust if needed. Edited March 28, 2016 by Phill106 Quote Link to comment
