Hi everyone.
I'm noticing that when I pop the throttle on my R60/6 (Bing 26mm carbs) that there is a half-second to full second delay before the engine responds with more revs. On my old bike with Keihin CV carbs this was something that some people encountered but I never had a problem with it. I hit the throttle and it was all right there instantaneously.
This bike had sat for about 10 years or so before I got it. Under a cover in a garage. So there was a LOT of sticky in it. I've gone through and thoroughly cleaned and reassembled the carbs. The plugs are a pretty nice shade of caf?® ol?®, maybe a BIT whiter than brown but not too far off. Could I be a little to lean still? I'm new to BMWs and Bing carbs and wonder if this is typical or if there is a tuning/adjustment tip for this. It doesn't feel mechanical as the throttle turns freely. I'm on the 2nd groove in the needles, everything is stock in terms of jets, etc..
If this is just par for the course for the BMW I can deal with it, but if not I'd like to clean it up.
After this if I can just figure out the infuriating odometer digits (all of them) (completely dissassembled and cleaned once already) I'll be in good shape.
Thanks
