  • Turns out that GPX600R was the guy’s wife’s bike. It’s gone and I’ll probably never see it again. Sad bike noises.

    Massive issues with the pumper carb on the DR. I think I messed up and damaged inside when trying to adjust the main jet needle. Idle hangs at 2k then drops to 1.5k on its own accord. Weird lean/airleak type hang, but not.

    Pumpers are a bitch.

  • I’ve got the same on the Duc when it’s hot at the moment. You have to stall it down with the clutch, then it’s fine. I suspect the pilot might be a touch lean. It’s annoying for sure!

  • Hey might be preaching to the converted but the mixture screw is the opposite of the air screw on a two stroke carb. Out is more fuel. Just had a diddle with the Duc carbs and it seems happier now. There’s no right setting, but somewhere between half and one and a half turns out is probably good. Any more than that and the pilot jet size is size is likely a bit small (lean.)
