No problem,, just trying to help..so i can presume that after they've re set everything and put carbs back on, that they have rebalanced the carbs and set them up properly?.

You mentioned earlier life engine work, can you shed a bit of light such as.. Different cams, air filter mods etc..

Cheers,,andy.

Hiya again,,,you have checked exup valve for full operation,, as this will cause lumpy running and shit performance..

They are both the same,,but mean machine is cheaper,,its basically a highly volatile solvent which you spray into air intake to start damp engines.... Amazing stuff for cleaning carbs as all shit is blown away,and it evaporates instantly, leaving no oily residue etc...smells like model aeroplane fuel..like i said. Ive used it, and hasnt damaged my diaphragms etc....but i used mean machine brand, so cant comment on other similar brands......andy.

Cheers Andy.

As a point of interest, many years ago I used some "Carb Cleaner" and it literally stripped the black paint finish of the outside of a set of carbs!

I hadn't considered using Easy Start for cleaning and maybe it'll be better.

Thanks for that.
