Pierre, Hi
Yes a few people have asked that.
It's running quite rich at the moment as I can switch the choke off
immediately after starting. I think I can weaken it a bit without
affecting the performance. I'm hoping to get the consumption down a bit
as I regularly do a 350km trip which I would like to do without
re-fuelling and without having to watch the fuel too closely. Dropping
one notch on the needle of my FZX made a difference of about 3-4 mpg but
as I discovered the @'s not adjustable. As I'm leaving the main jet and
slow jet unchanged there's no real effect on 3/4 to full throttle power
or starting.
This was Rob's answer (sorry but this deserves public humiliation) :-)
