Re: Carb experimentation, cold start issues.

Am sure it's probably unrelated but by carb has a power jet. On line there seems to be mixed opinions about whether these should be used or blocked off?

I'll post the full carb setup in the next couple of days. In the meantime was going to ask is this https://www.miniriders.com/threads/keihin-pwk-copy...

Re: Carb experimentation, cold start issues.

My tuner agrees that it's not ideal but doesn't think it should affect cold start.
After first start it actually runs ok for my needs running round the city.
Always intended swapping to a good kit at a later date but hoping that doesn't need to be now.
