Hey guys,
I haven't happened to find where my mixture screws are, so was just wondering where they are and what are the optimal settings (if there is a way to measure)..
My bike doesn't like starting all that much when it's cold, even after I've cleaned the carbies. (It usually starts on the 3rd or 4th try, which isn't that bad.. but I'd still like to make sure the correct oil/petrol mix is being used)
My idle is at about 2k RPM and I've seen on these forums that it should be around 1400-1600 so I'm going to turn that down a bit.. but a little bit too much petrol shouldn't be stopping it from starting, should it?.. After all that's what the choke does, right? (choke = more petrol, less air?)
It blows a bit of white smoke when first started as well, so maybe too much oil?
Cheers
