hi guys,
quick up date, found some bigger jets for the cold start. bike now starts good and takes throttle. after 20-30 seconds i can RIDE off, and once in second gear, flick choke off and normal running is fine.
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
looks like i'm on the right track. will see how it goes for now, and if any fine tuning alters or improves it even more.
cheers trev.

hi fidobsa,
it takes an age, you can leave the bike on choke for 5mins plus, engine is warm still a problem when choke switched off. but if i can switch choke off while bike rolling down hill in gear the motor cuts out for a second or so and then fires up again as the momentum keeps it churning round. once through this stage of p*issing about, you can stop bike and will start and run without choke no problem.
not sure if these carbs are meant to be able to be ridden with choke on or not, this one can't at moment for sure, as as soon as you open the throttle off the stop, it baulks.

hi LAB, have tried letting choke levers down in graduations, similar to the effect a cable system would have...no different. also tried just using chokes on 2 outer pots, hoping the centre cylinder would 'drag' them along untill the 'normal' running curcuits kicked in.....no joy there either.
the bike runs realy strongly once off the choke, it's just getting it off the choke thats the problem. ticks over at 750 rpm, accelerates well , and pugs(new champs) seem good colour . so the reason for asking again, was just to see if i'd missed anything, or if there was some one on who has experience of MK2's and could offer a cure, or say sorry dude but they all like that.....in which case it will be the bin, and fit some MK1's back on..... tickle them start bike ride away no fuss.

hi guys,
having a spot of bother with some mk2's i fitted to my rocket 3. after much fiddling, the bike runs great, and starts good.....but the transition from 'choke' to normal running, is, well sh*te. cuts out, won't start unless 'choke' put on again, can't ride off to warm motor with choke on.once warm, and choke flicked off, runs REAL good. any suggestions appreciated, as it's spoiling a real sweet running bike.
cheers w. rod.

hi jeff, you just got to look at all the goldie adds in the press, and try to get a feel for the prices. i think there's also a dedicated goldie club some where out there. good luck.
