EFFIN MARVLOUSE.

The DUKE has been running shit at full throttle but only after it's been flat out for a short time. This has not even been noticed whilst I did short track. 

But since I've had it in the road it has been a real pain in the ass. 

The plugs looked ok and because I had ran it all last year I over complicated the situation by thinking that the jetting was fine. 

So I made a plate to keep the carbs dry and cleaned them out. 

Still ran shit. 

Adjusted the float heights 

Still ran shit. 

Up jetted the carbs . 

Still ran shit . 

Tryed a new fuel pump. 

Still ran shit . 

Tryed different fuel feed combos . 

Still ran shit. 

So I am BOARD, BOARD, BOARD with taking the carbs apart and fed up of stinking of fuel. So I went to chat to top bloke J Tremlett (owns the local bike garage) 

"Try blocking the sure filters a bit" says he. 

This is something that I have done menu times on my own and others bikes to quickly sort bikes running too lean. But in my confused state I had forgotten to try this. Sometimes you just need a fresh perspective. 

So I tryed it today . 

FUCK ME IT RUNS LIKE A BLOODY DREAM NOW. 

As you can see I started by wrapping them in 'ROCK N ROLL' tape . This worked so next I cut up a coke bottle and it slipped over lovely. Then took it for a lovely blast over the moors. 

I'm one step closer to Pikes Peak now.
