You would just have to Google a parts diagram to see how it works

Either one . After the advent of emissions and emission controls laid all over the engines , you would follow the service manual and bar the engine over unit the # 1 cylinder valves were overlapping and adjust certain ( I used to remember ) valves , rotate the engine 1 revolution until # 6 valves were overlapping and adjust ( I used to remember ) the rest . Install the valve covers and all the clutter & you were done .

Yeah , SnapOn used to sell these clips that would go on top of the rocker arm so oil wouldn't shoot out the tip of the pushrod onto everything . I'm pretty sure I still have them .

could you imagine bouncing off the seat onto the back tire ?

IDK about a MG , but you can do it on a small block Chevy . It takes practice and patience or a lot of hubris .

Cindy in Muck boots ?

Look up this carb in a parts diagram and ATTACK ! Remove the choke piston and see what you find .

The fuel system was pressurized before the wiring was disconnected . He cranked it up and depressurized the fuel system by letting it run out of pressurized fuel , then disconnected the line .

There's one thing for sure , nothing is for sure .

See my column .

A priest , a minister and a rabbit walk into a blood bank , the rabbit says " I think I might be a type o " ?

I heard a Laverda triple w/a flat plane crank one time ....... It was a religious experience !

Uh , where is this washer located ? Is it where you can tighten this from the o.s. ?

While the subject of exhaust is "on the thread" , which side of the footpeg bracket does your (and everyone else) does your exhaust slip-on mount to ?

This only floods during choke mode ?

You keep tellin' yourself that !

You got that right !

My black frame is like that . I DON'T like it .

What is this ? Dellorto carbs ? What model are they ?

HMMMM . That's like a little crack in a windshield or being a little pregnant . This driveshaft has to be perfect . Try it at the matched paint marks and see what you come up with . are you pulling the driveshaft to grease it ?

My personal opinion . I want the throttle blades to be exactly the same PERIOD any multi carb motorcycle ( in my opinion ) wants the throttle angle to be the same . on my bike I set them with CLEAN throttle bores and throttle blades . After you have set the tps V to .157 mV with the r.h. throttle blade closed , 0 contact w/choke kicker and linkage disconnected . I go to the l.h. throttle and turn the idle screw tii it touches and add 1/6 of a turn . I do the same on the r.h. idle screw until there is no clearance , then I attach the linkage and turn the white knob until it will hold a 0.002" feeler gauge against the throttle . Turn the knob until the feeler gauge falls . Then I call it good . Clean the air bypass screws , turn them in until they stop . Back out 1/2 turn for starters . Then adjust the l.h. idle screw until you get 0.450 mV or 0,540 mV depending on who you want to listen to . Start it up let it get warm and see how you like it .

I have Moto Guzzi riding boots . With everything swelling below the knees , I am resigned to wearing Keen work boots . Nuthin' fancy .

I made one of these before they became available and I was amazed . It is the difference between a 1940s farm tractor & a Japanese moto-x bike . I hope you have experienced both . All of these V11s should be equipped w/this trick .

We enjoy your company , start talkin' !

You got it !
