Well I just got the carbs back on after changing the pilot jet to a 20 & the main to a 142.5 & cranked it.

For the first time it started easily, it didn't pop & bang, and most of all it didn't need the choke on for 7 or 8 minutes until the motor was hot either.

I've never had a fourstroke anything with a manual choke need as much choke & warming up as this SV did, and it was erratic for the first few mins riding after the warm up too, hoping to find that cured as well when I get some time & dry roads to take it out for a ride.
