<p>A pox on listening to the carbs with a hose! Buy a Unisyn
gauge. It doesn't cost much and it will last forever. <br>
</p>
<p>If the throttle stops are pitted, obviously the idle screws need
to be screwed in further than 1.5 turns. Turn each in another
half turn or more in order to get the engine to idle. Just make
sure to adjust each carb's screw the same amount. When you get
the Unisyn, you'll use it and the idle screws to equalize the
carbs' air flows.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Alright folks, this is where I am. No
leaks, properly polarized bowl valves, readjusted the tabs for
the valve moving part, bought new floats and replaced overflow
copper pipes (no charcoal – just straight drip, and new jet
needles. I watched video from Twist and was able to get a good
drop like his – 6 – 8 seconds. The stop plates for the idle
screws are heavily dug pitted, which led to the problems of
screwing them out and then back in 1.5 turns. I have been
having some success with tuning the idle screw and jet, but I
get hardly a change in engine.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I can’t keep the engine running when tuning
for both slow idle, it dies as soon as I start it. I have had
some success listening through the rubber tube and there is
significant difference. I presume the intake which sounds
weaker needs the idle raised??<o:p></o:p></p>

valve there should be a sprung metal pin at the bottom
that the float lever bears on. The tip was originally
brass and conical going into a circular chamfered seat,
later changed to Viton which is typically black or red,
but still conical, see here <a moz-do-not-send="true"

My manuals don't show what you describe, but Moss Europe
for the HIF does seem to show the moving part of the valve
upside down relative to the float, but the HS is the right
way up. It's not possible to tell from the US Moss site
which way up they are in either HS or HIF. That's not to
say that someone hasn't installed a really rubbish copy.</span><span
