Ah I thought you fitted a Keihin FCR? I agree though, they are complicated little sods. I'm not enthusiastic about doing the ones on the Duc. It's doubly annoying as the throttle response is fantastic, the hanging idle is the only bug. I was thinking the other day while riding the GSXR that the transition between on and off the throttle when you're making adjustments mid-corner is way nicer on the carbs.

Infuriating.
All I wanted to do was adjust the main jet needle clip to try resolve the flat spot until I get some new jets (it’s running lean) and I think that I damaged something in the carb. It was a ballache to disassemble and some parts were made of stale cheese.
I’m away for a few days so thinking to put the CV carb back on next week when I get home, and then think about next steps.
Maybe I was spoilt by how dead simple the PWK28 is on the Sherco, that I forgot how messy the Mikuni’s can be if you don’t act like a surgeon.
