Don't forget to check everything else in order before the carbs as plug gaps, dwell, timing and air filters alter the mixture.
Saves doing the carbs twice :wink:

if its the later type screw on the side then buy some decent gloves, on the p6 its pretty much impossible to not burn your fingers on the exhaust pipe!!!!
 
Hi all i will have ago tomorrow and see if i can sort it, i have alot of spare carbs so i my well rebuild one and then i will know that its in good order. thanks very much for your help
