Question Anyone got a digram of the carbs?

I wanted to check the a/f or mixture screw setting on my carbs. I cant even see them? I'm still waiting for my manual to arrive. I assume they are on the underside in a recess? Can you adjust them by fitting your hand and a screwdriver into the frame? Anyone got a diagram showing where they are?
Many thanks

Take the carbs off, turn them upside down (Fuel will come out) and the screw face easch other. They may be behind caps. They will more than likely siezed though.

You have to remove the carbs to adjust the mixture! I wouldn't want to pay a dyno tuner to get that wrong more than once!

Yup. Anyway the mixture scres are normal set and forget and only affect the lower end of the rev range. Once you kno what you are doing its quite easy to pop the carbs off in under 5 mins. I have never altered my mixture screws in 50000 miles

You find manuals on the main site under FAQ , download from there, But Viney is right, don't muck about with them, but if you are going to, make sure you have decent screwdrivers and you also replace the cheese bolts with one made of metal while you're there.

Cheers Mark.
