What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - drewpy - 14-08-2021
carb parts from Allens came next day, wow
Â
started stripping carbs down to replace emulsion tubes, needles and main jetÂ
Â
clip was on #1 groove which is the lowest/weakest setting.
Â
do you think i should go for the middle setting?

Are the needles standard ? and on no.1 clip position Drewps ?   I've always used factory settings when working on carbs and adjusted from there if need be. Never had to adjust needle clip position from factory setting (middle) yet.

I suspect that because of worn needle or emulsion tube, it was moved to lower the needle to compensate for this.
I'm going with the middle this time

I've been running that for 7 years now.
just the float height to set and the rain to stop before fitting to the bike

Using my selection of puller's pushers and pinchers I did both sets of fork seals and bushes. All back together and looking good.

balanced the carbs and it pulls really well between 2 - 4k revs.
still have a slight blip at 2.5k revs but nothing major and i'm being picky.
The only thing that is bugging me is I had t raise the tickover right in to get 1200 revs, it won't go any further clockwise.
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - Studley Ramrod - 18-08-2021
Try fettling the balance screw, you might get the tickover much higher.

it fires right up though and revs really easy

I've not ridden the TDM in many months and with better weather just around the corner tried to get the old girl started.
Â
Bat flattery.. So I ordered the last remaining one in NZ, or so it seems. What a palaver trying to find one. That was on Sunday. Tuesday we went into lock down, Auntie Cindy is being very stern again.
Â
Luckily courier drivers are essential employees so the battery turned up while we were having morning coffee and the new dog attacked the courier for his sterling efforts, poor bugger nearly crapped himself but didn't drop the battery.
Â
Charged the battery and fitted it, the bike fired up after a couple of stabs but only on one cylinder. I let it run for a bit on choke and it finally cleared out, running properly on both cylinders. I'm quite amazed after the length of time it's been sat covered in crap, cold and damp.
Â
I had forgotten that ET needs to help with removing and replacing the battery box. Pretty sure it's part of the test to join Mensa in Japan..
Â
On the bright side, when we are allowed out to play I can get it legal (WoF / MoT) and learn to ride again.

Could it be a twisted tickover cable ? Just seems odd having to screw it fully clockwise to get 1200rpm. That said, if it works ok might as well leave as be.
