Rolling road

Took the +2 to RE at Bury to tune the carbs. New smaller main jets fitted.
Good news, 85bhp at the wheels, I think equates to 105 bhp engine.
+2 now runs ok on the road.
Bad news, tachometer inaccurate.
No1 idle adjustment screw turning up and down has no effect, Ken tried to fix blockage.
No3 idle adjustment screw is seized solid, again Ken tried to move it but to no avail, now slot is stripped.
So idle is a bit lumpy and I have some work over the winter, taking carbs off to repair them.
And the cost? ?174, mostly labour trying to fix idle adjustment I assume.
Still hope to get to Castle Coombe on Saturday.
Please excuse the paintwork, it was meant to go for paint early this month.
Les.
