Working on this, then that… the shop is so cramped (;∀;)
Every day doesn’t go as planned.
Sometimes I wonder if I should just ignore it and slap it together… but those doubts creep in.
We made a little progress.

Carburetor (air cleaner box side) installation—a must-see for those who find it tricky?
Installing from the air cleaner box side is surprisingly faster (by our measure).
Give it a try.

It burned surprisingly clean, so we reused it.


Every time I look at the manual, don’t you find yourself thinking ????.
Anyway, we can’t do without it, but I think the manual is a kind of standard.
With the TPS, you can’t just put it back where it was. Make sure to adjust it properly.

When synchronizing, the ignition coil has to be temporarily positioned like this or the layout gets tight on the Bandit 1200.
Everything takes extra effort.

Multi-cylinder engines really feel great when the sync is right.
From idle, they deliver a stable exhaust note—”Booo”—that’s music to your ears (‘ω’)ノ

K&N air filter cleaned.

The right engine hanger was bent, so we corrected it with a slotted hole.
When you install something, if the bolts don’t come out and go in smoothly, removal and installation both become nerve-wracking and frustrating, right?
When everything runs smooth&and mild, that’s what we’re after.

It looks like a brand-new carburetor.
When a stock negative-pressure carb is in this condition, you can really take pride in it.
To be continued.
