4 days from the states, then 2 to 3 weeks from the post office.

While you are waiting - I had a similar problem and got some advice from one member that worked - basically it was the idle pilot jets that were set too rich and the bike ran fine on old plugs. After fitting new plugs (modern plugs appear to like to run lean) the problems started.

Solution was to clean the new plugs thoroughly then re-set the pilot jets to one turn out (i.e. lean) and take it from there - worked for me.

Mikey, I ordered some stuff last Thursday eve and it was delivered today so call it one week. I paid the slightly higher shipping charge to get it sent via UPS. A good investment cos it can take ages for the Post Office to deliver if you use standard postage especially with the current crappy postal strike/go slow whatever it is!

Visited steve today (aka ginger bear) and i didnt get lost getting there, he is very kindly doing my carbs in his ultra sonic tank and ordered my repair kits from Z1 enterprises so hopefuly when its all glued back together it will be running nicely just in time for the winter to start

Mikey .. I know its a bit late ... but the Carb Kits from NRP are the nuts ....
as recommended by chrisu
Come complete with all jets & gaskets including new float valve .... all for £17 each carb

Thanks geoff anyway, but the kits from Z1enterprises are very comprehesive and include all the gaskets o rings jets and needle vavles etc and with the postage worked out to be just over the £50 mark for all 4 carbs.
