Made a bit of progress last night.
Swapped carb over from my 2011 (AS2), its a good 10mm shorter so I cant get the airbox boot on, just wrapped some inner tube between the carb and boot.
Bike sounds a whole lot better on the stand, seems to takes revs cleanly and I confirmed the powervalve is opening with this carb. Exhaust gas temperature is waaaay down too.
Checked timing and the stator doesn't look like its been off as it has a rounded bolt! the special washer to lock the timing is also fitted.
Hopefully get it out for a run later and see if its working as it should.
Other than swapping all my jets and slide over is there anything can be done to diagnose a worn carb?
Thinking a Chinese copy for 35quid is the way to go rather than something used that could have the same problems....
