Hi Sandy
I am not sure which carbs you would be running, if Su's make sure that the
top locknut that holds the jet assembly is tight, if not when you turn the
adjuster the whole assembly turns and the jet adjusting nut does not move up
or down BTDT! If you are running Strombergs I have heard that you need to
ensure the adjuster is engaged in the thread or it will just spin round and
also have no effect!
I hope this may be of help!
Graham.
