I've got my R60/5 back together and after installing new throttle cables & disassembling the carbs & cleaning in an ultrasonic cleaner, I've got some adjusting / balancing questions.
This bike has points.
I rode a few miles & warmed her up good.
A friend sent me a spoke and cap to short out one cylinder. The mixture & idle screws adjusted well on the right or starboard carb . The left/port carb not so - turning in the mixture screw all the way in or out doesn't change anything - the idle starts to change a little when I've got it almost in all the way. Just to be clear, the smaller screw adjusts the mixture & large screw, the idle.
Engine is running on both cylinders and I dropped the fuel bowls and from what I know, everything looks good.
Any ideas what's happening on the left side carb? Something seems wrong.
