Way to go!   Most times that’s all it takes….   Being a Brit….  How do YOU balance Airflow of the carbs?

Well, I took that abomination of a carburettor to bits & cleaned it - 
and not only does it now idle smoothly, but the detonation has GONE. It 
must have been running lean throughout the range. It wasn't running on 
the idle jet, but you could hear it come in quite clearly as soon as it 
came off idle, so I assumed the rest of the carb was working ok. 
Obviously it wasn't. I am genuinely surprised that a simple weak mixture 
would cause that amount of detonation, and I am equally surprised that 
simply cleaning one carb would cure it. But it has.
