hi,think ime booked in for a tune this weekend with a couple of mates,after having a af 225 rapido kit go tits up then a af race crank ive now fitted a indian alloy barrel 200 kit and crank,the eng is fitted with a 30mm oko flatside carb(do you stock the jets for these?) and a reed valve manifold with a sterling exh.
The eng runs well but seems to run out of steam on banks and when opened up,plug is a nice dark brown colour after a good hard run,is there anything I can check and adj before I bring it in?
cheers mk1

Got Kenny, Loui and Mark from M'boro coming this weekend.....which one are you? :lol:

Nothing needs adjusting as such, but the scoot does need to be in reasonable running condition before it can go on the dyno :lol: :lol:

We'll just need to have a chat on Sat before we get started about spec of machine, known existing problems and what you're hoping for etc, then we can have a look.

We carry Dellorto and Mikuni spares in stock, and if there's anything you need that we dont stock, we can discuss what you need to buy before you leave.

I've heard from others that they are a cheap and functional carb, but can be a bit hit & miss, some batches are OK, some are not.....
