Ah yes! I've actually got those bookmarked - must have been having a lapse of memory!

I could do with getting mine checked over really...see what shape they're in. I have another pair for spares. Any advice regarding where to go?

cheers

When carb rebuilders rebuild carbs. They have a special test bench on which they put the finished carbs on, to check them.

Maybe contacting one of those would help?

An excellent plan! Anyone have any details of recommended companies? A friend went to a place in Liskeard and was very pleased with the service...I might look into them!

cheers
