... I see that. For the same carbs, Bing's manual uses clip positions of three and two respectively. You can experiment with the positions to see what works ...
From what you have said, indeed it sounds like a carburetor, and that has been covered by other replies. I don't have enough experience with singles to know if...
Thanks Kim I think the first step is to buy the new slide. There is certainly slop when checked with the carby on the bench. I just hope the bore is not to far...
I am currently restoring a R26 and would like opinions on balancing the crankshaft/flywheel as I get it rebuilt with new rod and piston. Is it necessary? It is...
Happy new years to every one. Does the problem appears only with the engine hot ? If it does get the carb cleaned with a curb solvet ,clean also the diodes of...
Thanks Nick I know I have a very worn slide so I think replacing this will be the first step. a good clean then start over again. thanks Bruce Reeves Armidale...

Hallo Bruce, The original needles , floats and so on for your /68 (oil sponge filter, no accelaration pump) 7 gr 120 1408(all the same for all R26-R27)...

Thanks Rolf It seems with the Micronic filter they went richer with the float and leaner with the main and needle position. Add a pump into the equasion and...
Is it the same as the R27? what bits do you need casts of? Bruce Reeves Armidale NSW R100GSPD 1992 R75/6 and DJP Sidecar 1975 R27 1960 ... From: Joe Hovel...
Hi Bruce! The R26 filter is the same as the early R27 - before they went to the paper element ones around 1963. If you have one, I'd want a cast of just the...

Great Bruce! Thanks! As it happens, I have a spare airfilter housing - if that's the "sidecover" you need??? I would prefer to make a sheetmetal aircleaner...
hallo bruce, good luck. believe me, it makes sense(very effectful) and fun(!!!) to finetune these ladies. Nevertheless, that acceleration pump was an item that...
