 |
|
Hello-
I've read that the original Okrasa style linkage can cause problems as the engine heats up. Apparently, it can throw off the idle of one/both carbs as the engine widens. Is this true? If so, is it that noticeable?
Cheers,
Paul |

The issue is easily resolved by synching your carbs and adjusting the linkage when the engine is hot, as per all dual carb and single carb adjustments. Never adjust anything without the engine up to operating temps.

X2...I wasn't happy with the linkage initially, but once I adjusted the idle and air/fuel while the engine was hot, I didn't have any subsequent issues.
