You'll probably shear some of the heads, might be time to buy a helicoil kit (or something similar).

What "stage" is the Dynokit?

luckily I didn't.....

had to use the hacksaw on most of them, so I could use a big flat headed screwdriver... bloody phillips heads just burred to buggery

all off now though... and i got some nice shiney replacements

Make sure you take a set of ear defenders

What are you actually drilling? The needles?

Shouldn't they have already been drilled to the right size? Or did they not come part of the kit

Na... you just get a tiny little drill* in the kit

*nearly broke it

Kelv · 07-28-2009, 5:26 AM

Is that the drill for the pressed in tickover jets? If so I would be temped not to and just use the needles and some oversized mains. the flat spot is when it swaps from the "tickover" jets to the mains at circa 4-5k and you can fek about with it a bit with the shiny new needles and "slightly larger than supplied in the kit" mains, at £1.50 for each jet and £80ish for a new set of decent 36 or 38mm carbs, that was the route I took, ended up smelling a little "fuely"(in town traffic) but didn't half shift on the open road.

any how .. back to my hole .. nn peeps

Yep, saw your mug shot and the heaving breasticles of Thundergod in SF this month. Has media exposure changed your life? Beating nubile girls off with shitty stick? Can't get out the house without being papped? The postie getting fed up delivering sacks of fan mail, most of them from woman wanting to do outrageous things to you (some of which are only just legal)?
