Did you’s do the “Butter tubs pass” just down the road on the was to Hawes, Famously used by Jeremy Clarkson on “Top Gear”. In fact that was where they were filming the day he had a fall out with the other guy!!,

My B1 struggles if I open the throttle when trying to start, the motor just stops momentarily as it has too much compression, Easy fix, Don’t open the throttle, It has never ever failed to start. Years of big singles and V twins have taught me this. 😉

Just a little thought! Have you had the compression checked? low compression on one or more cylinders would cause low rpm problems.
I think the carbs you have will have a “Starter Jet” which is not a choke as such, just a enrichment system which is much better than the old “Choke flap” It may or may not increase the RPM.

Good luck HaHa.
They are not much more complicated than the little Hondas, it’s just more of them!
The same principles apply, start with an exterior clean then with a clean tidy worktop strip placing parts in order as you remove them.
The only extra bits are the diaphragms connected to the top of the throttle shuttle, these neeed to be checked for…[Read more] -

Sorry KK it sold, you should have made it clear who you were and I would have given you priority.
I have been having a good clean out (only the seat for Kawasaki)

Jets are measured by there flow rates not the hole size.
I seem to have been lucky with mine, standing for ten years, quick clean and off it went.
Altered the pilot screws at a later date to stop the exhausts popping on the overrun but tickover is still fine. -

Nice bike, Changing the front sprocket for a 17 or 18(watch the wires)helps bring the cruising speed up.
Mine had a 40T rear sprocket on when I bought it, 50mph cruising!!! - Load More
