Good call, way rich.
Check the choke action
And remove the jets for cleaning
High miles, engine knock, rusty chrome, worn pegs...
Brakes as new
Cheers Andy. Cleaned the carb and jets again today. No difference. The odd thing is that before I took the carb out and cleaned it the other week the only issue was stalling when hot and twisting the throttle at the lights occasionally. I think the pilot jet was a bit clogged and I flushed that out, but now the issue seems to be 1/4 to 3/4 ish throttle (5-6k rpm)....sigh
you have of course done a search for "motorcycle carburettor tuning" eh?
jesus it's like spoon feeding.

So here's the latest. Moved the needle up one notch (lowered the clip by one notch) to richen it up after deciding the misfiring was a result of lean-ness. That made it run fine through all the range of throttle except WOT. Little bit of stalling on idle when the throttle is twisted, but havent tried to adjust the fuel/air screw yet.
The really annoying thing now is that there is a slight drip from the overflow on the carb but only when the bike is on its side stand not middle stand, I'm guessing the float is too high and hence it drips over when on an angle, other than that I guess the gasket could be rooted.
Small steps but at least there in the right direction
