    Should have waited for these Adrian. You don't often see a stack of 4 Mk2s. Could be cheap as smoothies are now £187, not £150 that he's quoting so this is an £850 set of carbs new.

    They're not just drag bike carbs either - they should run quite nicely on a street bike.

    I might have a lowball punt at them.

            well i have rebuilt at least six sets of VM's and 2 sets of bandit CV's all have worked out fine, ran no problem all through the rev range and all have said how much better the bike runs.
            lots of people on here use U/S cleaners as well on their carbs and they dont get any problems

              I had that symptom & chase it around the carbs... it was actually a problem with the ignitor. Just a thought....

              That was on my 80 1000G

              Be interesting to see what the 28's do for you.
