Hi,
I have just found this site and am a young fellow of just 78 and am relying on my mate to enter threads etc.
I have owned a 1982 Superdream for about 5 years and am a regular rider with our local Classic bike club attending various shows and weekly ride outs with our group + Donnington Park classic shows each year.
Recently acquired another 1981 Superdream project that is now just about ready for MOT which is booked in for today and whilst she is starting fine and pulling in each gear I am unable to open throttle beyond about 1/4 revs (rev counter cable broken so no accurate figure - sorry) when she goes very sluggish, but pulling out choke and she kicks in great.
Clearly this suggests a fuel issue but what............have stripped and cleaned carbs and petrol tank fully, reset the timing and valve clearances but still she remains the same can anyone suggest further aspects to look at and also advise whether the Keihin CV carb is the correct for this bike also where do I locate what type of carb is actually fitted as I can't find any numbers...................keeping on the carb should there be a rubber diapragm fitted to the top of the slide as some Keihin models show one whilst others don't.
I still intend to try and get to MOT station today but really not sure if I will succeed (club mates will follow with a tow rope)

, be preapred for more cleaning - everywhere ! Think a lot of the airways ec are very small diameter and get clogged up quite easily . No rubber diaphragm in these carbs just the good fit between piston and carb body .
