Old time ChilliWACKers slang - not that I'm old time, though I do remember riding through in the '60's


Okay, good to know and no surprise with that setup. If there's no sign of any adjustment method, good enough. It's not like trying to synchronize two cylinders, which really does matter.
Note that some people have dumped the two carbs and gone to a single one! I wouldn't do it on a well running bike, but if the carbs are toast and the price is prohibitive to replace, it's a possible option.


And you've cranked it over with the plugs out and watched the spark? NOTE: Before you do that - some bikes - certain old BMW's IIRC - REALLY don't like that, electronics issues, so check if it's ok to do.


With that type, YES. As long a it's in there just very slightly snug it will work fine - it may not stay there long term, but useful for testing. You could even just chop off all the damaged part and saw a new slot in what's left - taking care on inserting and removing not to damage the carb of course!.


Plausible - and a starting point. I also strongly question the 3 1/2 turns out from fully in - very lightly - for the standard setting for the mixture screws - NORMAL is 1 1/2 to at most 2 turns out. I've NEVER heard of over 2. Doesn't mean it's not correct, but I question it.


Bummer! And I get it - my fun bike is in the throes of a massive rewire right now so I'm spending way too much time in the garage and none on the road. Well I confess garage time is fun too, but not when the sun is shining and the temp is perfect!
