top end limited to 70 used to do 100

[james]

hi all,

My revere used to run smoothly rite up to 100 mph no probs but since i changed the carbs it's dragged in acceleration and has to really work to reach 70mph.

a mechanic friend checked and cleared the carb jets (with compressed air) etc andsaid carb looked fine. iv put 2 bottles of carb cleaner thru, checked valve clearances and checked andeven changed HT leads but nothing has solved the prob.

i was thinking of removing the carb and soaking it overnite in petrol asadvised by my friend but other than that im out of ideas!

any suggestionswd be a great help

cheers, James

Hi James,

Slightly confused....thought you owned an NTV 650
(rather than Revere 600)?

And if the bike was running up to 100mph before you
changed the carbs why did you change them?

What did you do with the old carbs....?
