Hmm, may be i have been told wrong in the past in that case.
I always assumed it was gph, but either way its too small.

I have x3 2.5 mikuni seats on order.
Cant wait to put it together

New seats and needles came in, also replaced the gaskets fir the seats.
Float heights set. I ended up replacing the air screw o rings as well. Probably should have done the idle screw o rings as well :(

Bike fired up with choke, no problems there.
I might have to replace atleast one choke plunger, i am suspecting that is why that cylinder plug is wet.

Sadly i have the airbox back on, which was a pain, as it is pretty hard. And i had to have the airbox in place first before slipping the carbs in.

Now synching is not fun when i cant see the slides lol

May be i will have to do the manual method.

Bunch of parts coming in, especially the choke cable and handle bars, may be that will help with the plunger seating.
At least i know she runs before i start dumping money i to missing parts.

Hi Salmanz8
A mate of mine taught me a little trick with the Bonnie
If you back right off with idle screw then using your little finger press on the top of the screw whilst flipping the throttle with the other hand until you can feel contact with slide as it drops onto the screw. You can definitely feel the contact ;)
Do the same with all three carbs until your certain they are all just making contact then adjust each screw with equal turns
Works a treat for me :)

Cheers Dave

Will definitely give that a go.
Waiting on handle bars and cables and such, then will go on with sync. I had her started without a throttle cable lol
And looking to track down one missing baffle for now.
Thanks dave

May be this will be a J clone, i really like the J tank graphics.
