Hey guys sorry no pictures this time as my phone decided, completely without asking me (once again) to switch the picture size from 1mp to 16mp and I just can`t be arsed to go through the pain of resizing every pic...
Here`s what`s happened since the last time:
-I made a jig to hold the 30mm "Keihin" pumpy at a 13 degree forward lean
-I measured the float level and discovered it to be too high
-I adjusted the float level lower
-I reassembed the quad only to discover it had no effect to the running issue
-I took the ebay pod filter under close examination (read: tore it apart)
-I discovered that for some reason the passage from the filter element gets choked to 27mm before the carb (no small wonder it was going SCHOOOP at WOT)
-I then crushed said pod filter with a hydraulic press.
-I adjusted the carb to the best of my ability, it`s still no Ferrari but it`s definitely revving higher without a filter
-I ordered a new rear brake disc, pads and a front balljoint from France
Still do do:
-Straighten the rear axel
-Order a set of balljoint sleeves from ebay (seems to be the only place that has the correct size)
-Adjust valve lash (if only I`d have a measure to adjust them to)
-Find somewhere I can order a vacuum hose nipple for the emission valve to be drilled onto the carb boot
-Take it through inspection
-RIDE!
