Re: some motorbikes. . .

I got pretty good at synchronising the throttle slides with ice cream sticks on my Commando.

Ha! I did it the same way as SUs on a car - stethoscope with the end piece removed so I could hear each carb in its own ear. On SUs I could get them much better synched than with a UniSyn. I still have both tools, though the Commando went to a new home last fall.

Bings are better. Once set there is really little to worry about for thousands of miles. In fact i have not had to adjust my carbs for nearly 35,000 miles on the R100CS. The float bowls leak when I run the tank dry then refill the tank. The drip on to my boot is very irritating. I would far rather drop the bowls to pour out fouling dirt in the gas than mess with any Amal carb ever.



Using stupid popsicle sticks on janky carbs which are a pain in the a$$ proves the bings rule.

Different strokes... I never found adjusting the carbs when I replaced the air filter (extra 10 minutes) to be particularly onerous.

We watched it again earlier in the week. The annoying thing for me is that I've only been to Invercargill once.... and I didn't see the bike.

Don't think the Scrambler has ever been near a dirt road, much less in the boonies.

Re: some motorbikes. . .
