flat spot
got a a flat spot between 5.5k and 6k
balanced the carbs and that's smoothed it out loads and improved the pick up loads when coming out of it, but its still there soooo i thinking i have a air leak somewhere, can anyone give me some pointers to were the leak is likely to be to save me ar$ing about for ages tar |

Re: flat spot
There's usually a fair pick up in power at about 6k. Otherwise if it's a proper flat spot then check the position of the idle screws.

Re: flat spot
Have you had the carbs off or done anything else to it?
