love the fact i can see your trials bike in the reflection, almost can read the type (Montessa?)

Man your paint looks nice!!

But, yeah, way more too it than a carb!

The pictures are fantastic.... I especially enjoyed that little under/over exposure experiment!!

So Sieg, the camera is working nicely, how about that carb? All sorted out??

:G-Dub: :mock:

Trials bike is a Beta Rev3 250......doesn't rev like my dog though. :D

The paint is circa 1989. Don't look too close!

The camera is actually better than expected and I have tweaked it with the custom functions. I was expecting it would need micro-focus adjustment but it appears to be close. Hopefully my other Canon lens is this close. The meter may have a tendency to slightly over-expose but that can be internally tuned along with a million other parameters. The electronic processing complexity and capability is amazing.

The carb is very close to driver status, just micro tuning the accel pump and possible the idle bypass air circuit. I managed to squeeze 11.5-12" of vacuum at idle out of it. It just has a tiny flat spot right off the 1K idle, just when you first touch the pedal. :thumbsup:

Sieg... The car looks and sounds great... I really like the black and orange color combination :D ... very nice!

Look forward to meeting you tomorrow :thumbsup:

I like it too!

:thumbsup:

so the orange on the car is circa 89, but the katoomers didnt come out with the black rims til 07, nice call....and there orange paint, 99?

doc gives me the release to ride in june, im chopping at the bit....

I hope to get that close real quick. I switched to a new distributor so I'm starting from square one!! Spec on my engine calls for base timing of 12° - to fight a rich idle condition, I'm going to start off at 14°.

Your thread has been a great point of reference!! :thumbsup:

I'm right in the 12-14* initial range also.

Make sure your idle transfer slot exposure is in the ballpark. You should see about .020 of the slot on the underside of the butterflies.
