Old bloke now with trike

Sounds good. may need the air pilot screws adjusting a little bit

@7k it should be well on the main. If the engine is essentially std - why change the needle unless it and the emulsion tube are worn . . . . and that wouldn't lead to under-fueling! Guesstimated fuel tuning doesn't work / takes too long / costs too much time/money - find a car rolling road dyno, ask for a power run with air fuel check - this will tell what is going on all, for about £30-40.

What speed was you doing to get up to 7k revs ?

[southernscouse]

Speed at 7thou was just over 70 I have no interest in going much faster just want a reliable plodder but with a smooth progression

[terryt]

You may want to check your diff ratio or wheel size. my gl1000 at 70 was about 3.800 on a 3.23 diff and my g1500 at 70 is 3600 on a 3.05 diff. both were on 205/55/15 wheels and tyres

Thanks for the replies when I got it up to 70 @7000rpm I can not remember what gear I was in (senile) tyres are 195/65/15
We're do I find the letter stamp on the axle everything is coated in paint

Hi on the back of the axle there may be some markings some numbers or letters stamped on the flat part. A 3.23-- B 2.72. unfortunately some didn't have any marking at all.

There is a way of checking by jacking up one side. put a mark on the wheel and prop shaft and rotate the rear wheel two turns at the same time count how many times the shaft rotates this will give you a idea of the ratio.

If you have any problems Im only in Cosham so when this lock down is over I will check if for you. also may be go for a breakfast run

Getting to take trike out a bit more went for a run to Chichester in top gear it will do 60 @ 5000 rpm this seems ok to me
