alright then thought id finaly call round and find a local rolling road to get the most out of me engine when i get it on the road soon, found one in a town near me so am pleased lol

asked him for a rough price on getting the carbs set up, he said depending on how far the jets are out and how many times it takes to get them right, it be from ?60 minimum up to ?100 maximum.

does that sound an alright price to pay for it? never had one set up before so i dont know.

cheers all lewis

acceleration jets cost me ?5 for 2 from wilshers...

they "usually" do the stuff on exhange/px so you get new mains for example but they keep your old ones and charge you a couple of quid. the expensive bits are the chokes that usually rock in at ?40-60 for 4.
