Nice one.
The B6 i have in the workshop now was running like shit, pilot screws being between 5 and 6 turns out won't help of course. And the float bowl vents were connected to eachother instead of to open air behind the airbox.

scariest thing is that it had been "fixed" by another motorcycle mechanic. Now i can correct all his fuck-ups (of which there are quite a few, not only in the carbs).
