Clicky

Running beautifully now. Less vibey, more low down grunt.

i'm at a loss of how this has been set up.

Am I right in saying its a continous piece of tubing with parts of it fill with oil and the ends attached to the vacumm nipples?

Strangely enough, I've just bought 5M (£2.50) of air tubing to do just this at the weekend. Using ATF is easier to read as it's red Thumbs Up

Didn't have any, and this was an old bottle of 2 stroke oil that's never going to get used. Yes it is 2 stroke oil, even though it's golden and not red/blue/green.

Did you find you had to pinch the tube at all to stop fluctuations, or was it fairly smooth to read untouched?

I found that carb #2 on a CB500 requires a spigot adaptor to put the tube on. Which I don't have Sad

I'm just wondering now if a brake caliper bleed nipple might fit...

Finally Smile

For next time :-

1. Use a longer bit of wood.
2. Or less fluid.
3. Put it on the floor, not on the bike. Otherwise when you overadjust, the fluid goes over the top bend and heads to your carb. Meaning you kill the engine, and have to wait to get the fluid back in the loop again. Meaning the carbs will run out of fuel restarting it. Again.
