Got a phone call from a wee man that I fettled his wee R80RT for a couple of years ago

Would you set the carbs up for me cos she's going like a Dog got no power He says that he changed the float bowl seal and the float valve and she's not right

So he drives down today and I check the diaphragms but no they're perfick so I start to set her up and notice the throttle butterfly not moving when the grip was twisted

On looking further into it I see the choke moving with throttle

Swapped them over and spent 10 minutes or so doing a carb fettle and she's sweet as a nut now

Not Many bikes would have got him that far with half a choke one side and no butterfly opening :blast

But he was able to ride it 20 odd miles
