After the comments about the Trophy sounding like a diesel outside the Black Horse at the BOSM I decided to fettle the carbs. Utilising the fuel tank off the lawn mower, a set of recently calibrated vacuum gauges attached to carbs and about 20mins of effort has resulted in the misfire disappearing, a more responsive throttle and a *much* better idle without the aforementioned diesel impressions. All I need to do now is give it a proper blast for a few hundred miles to see how it performs proper like. Next idea...............Chop it in for a more sporty version........Suggestions? -- -- Robbo Trophy 1200 1998 BotaFOF #19. E.O.S.M 2001/2002/2003/2004.

Out of curiosity, where did you get the gauge-to-carb adaptors? I've got a set of gauges but the adaptors don't fit the Trophy. Er, I think they don't, anyway.....
After the comments about the Trophy sounding like a diesel outside the Didn't need adapters, the gauge tube ends fit directly onto the small capped outlets on the top of the carb diaphragm covers. If you want, I can come over with mine and show you etc etc..... -- -- Robbo Trophy 1200 1998 BotaFOF #19. E.O.S.M 2001/2002/2003/2004. B.O.S.M 2003, 2004, 2005 FURSWB#1 KotL..YTC449 PM#7 ..
Brilliant. I never thought of that..... Nah, they were balanced (by a dealer) only 500 miles ago and, like you say, it made a hell of a diffeence. But I'll remember that for next time.
Robbo spoke: XJ600? When? -- -- Robbo Trophy 1200 1998 BotaFOF #19. E.O.S.M 2001/2002/2003/2004. B.O.S.M 2003, 2004, 2005 FURSWB#1 KotL..YTC449 PM#7 ..

Robbo wrote More interested in any accessories as it goes but yes. No rush, when next our paths cross and all that shit. Bring it to Brands and use it, the results from that I'll have.
