Today removing carbs and putting new secondhand set on to see how they run they look std and unmolested. Set remove rebuilt with SS bolts etc cleaned check jets these have been stage one dyno jetted, May go for 190 mains etc as think they were running lean hoping to dial them in for my blueflames.
However running STD pipes at the moment.

Up date carbs fitted used fuel pipes off removed carbs as 02 storms are longer, no need to blank carb hose for pairs system as not present on the second hand carbs thinking they must be from older model or import?(NO T PIECE)
Replaced choke cable without braking the plastic retainers, started up and set idle all working ok, will see how it performs on trip out tomorrow after syncing carbs.
