maybe if I keep it, bought it because of the elec start, hernia op in about 3 weeks so hopefully back on my Strada after that.

What model are they please, I will have a look and see what the cost is, I can do my own cables and brackets to steady them
Thanks barney

Now that might be a plan, little winter job maybe as it will involve some wiring as and handlebar controls as well I guess, I will look into this now, Thanks for planting the thought

It is how the Sport is. Use the gearbox. Back in the day it was reckoned to being akin to a two smoke. As I have aged (not matured) I prefer the gentler Strada. Hmm, I thought that might be the case, and your right my 76 Strada is a nicer ride, I bought this as at the minute I’m struggling to start...

Didn’t really want to go to the expense of that really, I guess it’s new cables as well ?

IMG_1381.jpeg Ok upadate, vac ports added to carbs, ultrasonic cleaned, balanced at tickover and 2000 rpm, nice crisp pick up off idle, then took it for 20 mile thrashing, revs up to red line, rides fine if you thrash it all the time but if the rpm is between 3-5000 and gently roll on the throttle ...

I’m working on the carbs at present, they will have vac ports by the end of Today, Thanks for the pics

Thanks for the picture, these don’t appear to be on mine

It has VHBZ carbs and has new rubber manifolds that I have fitted but not sure where the balance pipe would go, this would help me greatly if it had that, yes it does have a tail piece
Thanks barney

Thanks for all replies, ordered 112 mains and new pilots as well, I will report back after they arrive got back together and balanced

Googling tells me that a 115 main jet should be .0455” I have a .047 drill bit that goes in easy so maybe the main jet a bit worn, interested in comments on this please, would this make enough difference ?

Thanks again for looking

Sorry float heights were also spot on with new needles will recheck as I reassemble this morning again

Hi Micky, valves adjusted spot on rear was slightly tight timing spot on with strobe, no take offs on my inlet rubbers to put vac gauges so I use an Su type on rear of carb, at tick over spot on equal, the cables I have adjusted using wire and feeling the free play and listening to them shutting, I’...

Update, Ok firstly thanks to all that replied, read through other Threads and took carb off this morning and Jet sizes are as follows Choke jet 50 Pilot 43 Atomiser 260 BD Main jet 🤷🏻 no marking, so if anyone can tell me what it should be I will see if I can find an appropriate drill bit to try Need...

Thanks George very informative, carbs were balanced with a meter on the rear as there are no ports in the inlet rubber unlike the strada, so the tick over should be fine but when come off that it was done with wire and carefully adjusting cables so they feel spot on but not the best way I know, will...

Forgot to mention, new choke rubber as well
