Got some fresh fuel in the old gal, she wouldnt start, did what big green bus said to prime the system and off she went, problem now is she ticks over but at certain times if you blip the throttle she dies(or sometimes theres a split second lag), the tick over is at about 700ish. if you hold the throttle a little she can rev everytime.
My obvious thought is to turn the tickover up a bit, but wheres the screw on these, im assuming its like normal carbs with a little screw or wheel thing?

700 rpm tickover is too low.
On a well set up motor 1000 rpm should be about right.

yeah it seems to be ticking over just about stalling level, think thats why when i touch the throttle sometimes it stalls, i cant find the screw to adjust it?

make sure the wire is attached to the the tick over scew (yellow if I remember), also check on the bottom of the EFI sensor for the two LED lights the green should be on with the throttle closed and the red at full throttle. Also make sure you have no air leaks from the airflow meter to the airbox (put insulating tape around the end of the flow meter if you are not sure) if there is a leak the air will not be drawn the the meter and not enough fuel will get through.
