Good luck with your tour next month @chizel . You plan to go via Portsmouth, Santander, Millau, Le Mans, Nurburgring, Prague, Milan, Mugello,...
500SL and 600SL Pantahs had PHF36 carbs very similar to Guzzi Le Mans 850s. The Pantah ones all had cable chokes, since levers on the carbs would...
My Guzzi has a separate 'choke' lever on each carb (PHF36). Once the engine starts, you turn them off one at a time.
Pleasant meet today, fine selection of Italian bikes ranging from new V4R to old classics, to 916/996, to modern Scramblers, to a Paul Smart. I...

On the way back to Calais, we took a look at two fine and impressive examples of Belgian infrastructure engineering, the Ronquieres Inclined...
I agree. Thanks again to @Dave for organising. I have to express my admiration for @bradders for maintaining good humour and equanimity...
Well yes, but I'm back home now. Will you be around on Sunday?
There is also a filter on the side of the carb body, where the fuel feed banjo is attached. That also might be clogged or wrongly assembled. Easy...
If fuel flow is good, carbs should only need tickling briefly. If the taps are clogged, or wrongly assembled, that might be your problem.
Well yes. If the fuel level in the float bowls (as controlled by the floats) is too low, and if he uses the ticklers before starting, the engine...
On my MHR a couple of weeks ago I took off the fuel tank, emptied it, took out both petrol taps, and checked the filters and reserve pipes....
Does the rear brake work to MOT standards?
I'll have some spare space in my top-box, so could carry some of your stuff from Calais to Bouillon if that helps @bradders .
