[Mgs] new muffler

[Paul Root]

I didn't write that well.

The carbs are synch'd and run well, but are a bit hard to get started. I do
get about 25mpg (US). So I believe it's pretty close. But I just think that I
could get it to start a little easier.

My question really was, could changing the exhaust cause issues like this, or
is it more likely that I knocked something out of kilter.

And yes, synchronizer not synchromesh.

then they shouldn't need readjusting now, and if you did, well, that explains
why they need readjusting now.  It is possible that the new exhaust
'restriction' is affecting the breathing, but I wouldn't expect it to be that
much.  If you know the carbs are out then you should be putting them right
anyway, not asking us if you need to!  And I presume you mean 'synchronisers'
not 'synchromeshes'.
