Running lumpy NC29 (with pics)

Post by NYKIE »

Hi there

i have stripped and cleaned my carbs and now the bike is running really lumpy. i took the temps of the downpipe after a 10 minute run

cyl 1. hot
cyl 2. warm
cly 3. extremely hot
cly 4. extremely hot

i am going to get the carbs balanced!

is there anything else i should check?

thanks
