Ref your mixture screw seals - the cheap low grade fuels available now in the UK are 10% ethernol which destroys rubber o-ring's/seals in the fuel system , nitron rubber is meant to be able to survive the low grade fuel , try and sorce 'o' rings/seals made from nitron rubber , also stick to premium fuel ,less ethernol and the bike runs better on premium .

Thanks. All seals and o-rings are good. 97 used in tank. Most kits come from USA where they have a much higher percentage of ethanol. As far as I’m aware those I’ve used are nitrile which are good in 10% ethanol environments. Best tip is to make sure fuel doesn’t sit for long periods of time in carbs. Fuel additives are good practice too.

Good video. What about the felt throttle shaft seals, are you going to replace them? I’m still in the progress of doing that, apparently they brittle over time quite a bit and affect the idle mixture, causing poor running.

Hi. Not considered that! Thanks for the tip. Striped one throttle assembly just now and they do look a bit nasty. Managed to get some that might fit that are for Piano strings. Where have you sourced from?
