RG 500

Well I made a couple of air filters from a clothes drier filter. I tried the bike at Ledenon on Saturday but it was running miles to rich, I could just about get into power band but really high and with zero mid range.

I didn't really notice any change due to new ignition map, anyway I decided to go down on the mains. So all mains were set to 220, the next run was much better until one of the filters came away and was flapping loose onon nr. 2 cylinder. I thought I had done a piston through leaning off nr. 2, however returning home, the spark plug looked rich, so I decided to redesign the filters so each carb. Has it's own filter held on by tie wraps!

I wanted to richen up the needle but I was on the highest clip setting, so I went back up to 230's on the mains, but put the needles on the middle clip. We'll see how this goes next outing.
