So I got a bit rich on just cracking the throttle. I have never messed with side cut away ever ever in my life but this seemed to be the time.
On the internet-- I read that the slide will richen or weaken the mix at cracking the throttle --well we all know that, but which is which.
I went on to read that a larger cut away measured in mm from base , meaning a 2.5 is a 2.5 mm cut away from the flat bottom of the slide.
Ok so it seemed that according to the internet!!!!!! I need a less cut away to weaken the throttle at crack.
So I scraped off the chrome just on the bottom of the slide on the cutaway, warmed with blow lamp, and tinned the edge with the soldering iron and built up a wall of solder just on the cut away.
Great what a good job after cleaning with a knife as solder don't stick to chrome it was as if it was not there. I reduced the 3 to a 1.
My god it was as rich as hell I took the carb off three times checking choke and for flooding it was that rich when I was expecting lean.
Checked the ---Internet again and another bloke -- not from a forum this time said a big cutaway is lean and the smaller cut out is rich. Oh @#$%^&*(
So-- cut it all off and its back to normal. A whole days messing about. Good job I don't like golf.
QED interesting that the slide cut away could make so much difference.
