Some thoughts on this please.
Hi y'all just would like some thoughts on this please as my limited knowladge doesn't know what to make of it.
If I've been for a ride and the bike is warm running ok and idling ok and then I turn her off and leave her for say 15 - 20 min I start her up no choke and she dies at idle I would have to pull the choke out half to make her idle faster or hold the throttle for a while.
I could try speeding up the idle on the Milkuni long idle screw?
But just wondered if this would be normal or a issue especially with my mods?
Thanks in advance.

The turn up your idle just a bit and see if that helps.
You could mount a tach on your bike (which is what I did) or wire one in just long enough for setting your carb if you want to.

I would like to install a rpm gauge but one that sits at engine level I'm sure I've see this done before ?? I wouldn't want at speedo or higher level.

The higher you mount it the easier it is to see..
Do you have a windshield on that bike?
If so you can hide it behind the windshield. JMO

Reason being is for me the bike is 100% period and to add a rpm gauge up top would maybe spoil it's period looks.
However if anyone has any pics of ones they have installed or links or whatever I would deffo reconsider if I saw one that flowed with the bike etc.

I mounted mine to the handlebar clamp but I don't think you would like it without the windshield.
If you want I'll get a picture of it after a while and post it up.
