1.Compression test should be done with the carbs held open (full throttle) or better off the bike altogether. 2.Bend the tabs on the floats to get them all sitting at the correct height.

Re: Center Stand

Thanks for the exhaust find, Its a shame its not closer to me :( ..

Yes I agree probably easier just to make a bracket for the center stand.

Back to the carb sync's vacume thing, does anyone know what size thread the sync pipe adapters have to be to fit into the pd type carbs?

Thanks
