...to do the simple things first.

D9 has been running ok' ish, but noticed a few more vibes recently, a slight hesitancy on throttle pick up and a general feeling summats was amiss. Convinced myself it was fuelling problem and set my stall out for a carb strip.

Before I started the strip I thought I'll give 'em a quick check for balance, they were miles out! Only did 'em last summer and the only thing I can think of that would alter anything in between was I replaced the throttle cables in the autumn.

Anyway, upshot is she's now purring like a kitten again and throttle response is spot on, jobs a good 'un.


Will do the D6 whilst I'm at it too.

Its like plants Trev if you leave tender plants out they suffer if you keep hardy plants in too hot & dry atmosphere they suffer your D900 is crying out to be taken from its hot house setting & ridden in the wind rain & cold then it won't sulk

I had a similar issue with my old D9 which had been unused for over a year, it used to mis-fire after it had been running for a few minutes, then ended up running on 3 cylinders. Convinced it was carbs, I ended up stripping them only to find it wasn't carbs at all, my issue was a dodgy coil.
