the vent hoses need to be open and can hang if you want... if they're facing upwards then thats fine too... they're not fussy ;)

I kept asking you if you wanted to borrow it...............and you never said you did, or wanted me to send it!.......... I guess that's not the case now , and you'd also like to borrow the Carb balancers too? ;)

If Yes please say Yes and PM me...... and I will send them to you! :lol:

i have a cd for the 750 and the japanese was only part of it..... if you want to PM me your address i can send you a copy.... or i can zip up the various sections and email em to you... they're quite large in their various sections though... if you have a half decent connection then i can always do that if it helps?

Give it some bigger pilots. That should sort it. You must not buy new ones, but use special taper reamers for jets.

I didn't think 'arris pipes made any difference to the jetting (but I might be wrong).

Also, 3 1/2 turns sounds a bit much, more like 2 1/2....
TOO MUCH IS NEVER ENOUGH

Just spoke to my mate who has a 750 and his screws are 2 turns out, no jet changes for idle with a Harris.

Hope that Helps. I have a reserve tank for carb setup if you need to borrow it.

if you don't have a reserve tank, just get some flexible pipe and connector hose and get your original tank a lovely chair beside your bike :-)

you will get flexible pipe and connector hose in your local motor factor.
