As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

Anyone got a decent pic of how the choke and throttle cables are setup/routed at the carb end of things ?

Having lots of trouble getting at the carb adjusting screw and nut in the middle of the bank of 4 carbs. Kinda think i may have these things in the wrong place.:(:( Everyone is telling me they can get on to it with no problem.

This is the tool I am using to adjust it with.

I suggest moving the throttle cable holder out of the way. That is the bracket held by the two allen screws on top of the carb.

Hi - Its looking like that is the way to go isnt it.

I thought maybe i had set the throttle and choke up wrong, but just had a look and they cant really go anywhere else :)

Will have another look later.

Thanks for the reply.

Spot on mate :lol::lol:

Took it off and I can finally get my carb adjusting tool on it :):):):) May have to do something with the choke as well, because at the moment it has to be on, so that the choke mechanism is pulled up and away from the adjuster nut. May have another look tomoz to see if i can leave it.

Thanks for the advice.

You can always activate the choke by moving the rod directly without all that linkage crap in the way.
