[davidfox280585]

New cam belt you say?

Recheck your timing marks

[vauxluva]

+ rep i never thought of that

[davidfox280585]

if your saying its boggy till high rvs that seems to be rich to me correct me where i stand but when fiddling with my fireblade when it was holding back badly i pulled choke when riding which richened it up and overcome my fuellng issue,thus meaning it needed rejetting or the k and n filter swapping to a stock one to limit my air supply a bit,this cured my issues

id still have it over to tony at art to check over he will check all your fuelling and tell you straight away,he will set fuelling to suit,personally i hate auto choke as there rubbish
it isnt a lot to have it checked over,there the best locally in my opinion

[mowgli]

choke, timing belt slipped, dizzy moved..

[vauxluva]

New cam belt you say?

Recheck your timing marks
I would but it has been fine untill now?

[vauxluva]

if its running fine i wouldnt have said belt but as others have said dizzy timing could be out too,this is all the items what get setup on a rolling road setup,
they give it all a general check make sure its healthy set fuelling and adjust timng if its a vernier and set dizzy timing
all done via the c'o machine:thumb:

choke, timing belt slipped, dizzy moved..
Slipped a tooth and the dizzy was very lose :thumb: any idea how you set the dizzy many thanks.

[mowgli]

yes.. you basically loosen the nut a touch, and rotate it till the two lugs look central to the clamp yoke.. then you rotate it about 5mm towards the radiator (anticlockwise) and then just nip the nut up. then start the engine.. then it is a case of advancing(clockwise) or retarding(anticlockwise) and applying the throttle till it revs cleanly... its why they call it tuning....

[davidfox280585]

glad to hear you got it sorted mate
