Hi peeps,

Got a couple of quick questions/requests that I'm hoping someone on here has the technical knowledge/effort to spare to answer for me:

Firstly does the throttle sensor adjust the timing when the bike is in use or is it just there to facilitate the function of the kickstand safety feature? I know that when the kickstand is still down and you drive to rev it kills the power so obviously the throttle sensor is involved in this feature but does it actually do anything else? If the kickstand safety feature was removed along with any associated elements could the throttle sensor then also be removed? I've played round with bikes that have CDI ignition systems like this before and none of the earlier bikes I've messed with have had or needed a throttle sensor so I am curious to know if the kickstand safety kill is all that it is there for.

Secondly would someone be able to post me a pic of the underside of the carbs? I had my float bowls off and was about to start putting them back on and have found a fifth slightly longer screw that I am not sure actually came off of the carb or is simply one that was left on my bench when I started.

I didn’t think the throttle sensor was part of the “kickstand safety feature” at all (neutral switch and clutch switch, yes). ? Happy to stand corrected on that, though.

I never know if my replies with attachments are going to work… these pics help? ?According to my parts manual, all eight float bowl screws are the same size, but maybe one or more are longer? ?Perhaps where the idle adjuster knob bracket attaches? ?It’s been so long since I’ve had my carbs off, I can’t remember.

Hey, that right-side bowl looks like it might be cracked? It isn’t, though...
