Forget the crimp, if it was on the cable it was probably in the wrong place anyway, just adjust the cable on roadtest.
mrtask said:Having tickled just about everything I now have the timing at 6°BTDC (it had been at 8° before), the idle down to 750/800rpm in neutral, rising to about 900rpm in 'D' or 'N', which engages without a clunk.
Something wrong there, the rpm should drop when you engage gear.
mrtask said:Road manners are considerably improved! However, in town in stop start traffic, the idle speed in gear at the lights wanders a bit, and sometimes stutters out if I don't nurse the throttle delicately. If I lift the lift pin on the right hand carb the revs don't rise and fall back, unlike the left carb. So I'm thinking it'll need to come off and come apart, a little further than I've ever previously had a carb dismantled into pieces! Sticking float perhaps? Long bank holiday weekend might see me tinkering some more...
It sounds like the RH carb is running weak.
mrtask said:Which carb feeds which cylinders?
LH 1467
RH 2358
mrtask said:Is it correct that crank and flywheel are balance together?
I don't think the flywheel was included, but it may have been.
mrtask said:When I swap out my automatic for an LT77 5-speed, will I need to get the manual flywheel balanced to the crankshaft?
In view of my previous answer, I wouldn't, I never have, and I've never had balance problems afterwards.
