strange running A10

[wilko]

Stumbling during no load is usually richness in my world. try dropping the needl a notch or two. If it's your slide then you'll have to find a friend with a slide with a  leaner cutaway to experiment with.

Hi All,
I'm presuming that the bike is running a Monobloc carb??
Check the carb needle jet?
If the jet has a T on it then it doesnt have the air bleed holes drilled across the jet 
I had a bike with the same symptoms, and it turned out that it had a 106T needle jet fitted

As shocking as it may seem -  the larger pilot jets completely cleared up the problem - i am in disbelief but glad it did it - one-footed geezer up the street who suggested it is of course proud as can be  - say's happy that these "kids" (i am 46 today) still like the old bikes and take advice from there elder's - haha - have to buy him a 12 pack of bud-lite in thx!

anyways thanks all for suggestion  as per usual

Great. Glad to hear it is worked out. Hope Bud-Lite is his favorite, otherwise, c'mon, you could do better than that!

Now, I'm no carburetor expert, but I thought the pilots were out of service once fuel was flowing past the needle with the throttle open. I assume that bigger pilots means richer mixture, which goes against the popular choice of solutions. I hope to come to understand what was going on here. It's been an interesting quest.

 yes actual bud-lite is his usual "strolling about the hood" brand of choice -

i hear you about the pilots - it goes against all that i thought i knew about carbs - new pilots probably masking some other carb problem -  but friend has been tearing up the streets w/ his A10 and is loving it...

 well till the mount on his custom oil tank cracked about an hr after getting the carbs dialed in that is....

gotta love british bikes!

Do you guys know what Bud Lite and making love in a canoe got in common?

They're both f***ing close to water!
