    Hi Guys,
    I've got a VFR 750 F RC36, I bought her with 97000km on the clock as a wreck and sorting out the problems making her unridable and have since knock the clocks over twice.
    she now has 6000km on the clock and the motor and gearbox has never been opened.

    This is my dilemma, last week I popped one of the hoses under the carbs leading from the heads to the thermostat and had to remove the carbs to get there to replace the hoses.
    Ive done so and re fitted the carbs but she is running so rich now that I'm lucky if Im getting 5km to a liter of fuel.

    So I know this has probably been asked hundreds of times but I'd like some help with setting the carbs up properly as I’ve had the collector box and header pipes changed for a old school racing setup they use to use at a track near me.
    and the carbs where never adjusted to suite. Any help or direction to links that may help would help allot.

    I’ve got the whole user and workshop manual and understand the basics of the setting and the tools I'll need but as to jetting and tricks I'm clueless.

    Thanks
    Nerfiller
