Re: Fuel & Carburetor
Set the mixture screws back to 2.5 turns. Even if you had a different filter, exhaust etc. there is pretty much no need to adjust these. If it won't run like that then you've got a problem of some sort such as an air leak, but it sounds like you're working your way through some stuff just now. When you say noisy top end, do you mean tapping or the camchain rattle? If it's the latter then it could be because the original tensioners are clapped. They're a bit crap anyway, the 2003 ones go straight in and are a much better design. If you wind the engine backwards with a socket a turn or two and next time it runs it's quieter until you thrash it, then yeah they're toast. You can also put it in 3rd and bump it backwards a couple of times, works just as well. If it's appy then you can check the valve clearances but they tend not to go anywhere. Has it got a lot of miles on it?
