Found some info on setting up carbs, seems well simple? is best if you've got the correct equipment though. | |

precisely, I couldn't even get it down the road without it cutting out! I'll have a look for a guide and ask some people, i basically need to get it running better thatn it is to be able to drive it somewhere and get it done properly. | |

^^ Problem is - if the car won't drive properly, it's gonna be hard to get it somewhere to set them up :| | |

Just put your hand in your pocket and get them set up properly on a rolling road! | |

Yeh deffo sounds too rich - as Dave A said - get one of those lambda sensors that connect to a air / fuel meter and see what you can do :thumbs: | |

i'll check the spark plugs tomorrow, see how black they are. Plooms of black smoke were coming from the exhaust when i revved it aswell. | |

carbs are a bitch to set up. had twin 40's on an xr2 a few years back. get a lambda guage (air fuel thingy) makes setting them up a lot easier! | |

you say your battery is dead? could that not make it run rough? if not carbs are quite cool to fettle with, been messing around with some bike carbs at work :thumbs: | |

Well it cut out about 5 times and because the battery is flat I had to get my dad to jump start it again each time! |
