MMMmmm, I wonder if the choke cable for the right side isn't retracting
all the way. Easy enough to find out.

Duh, should have read your original message. :) Sounds like the
right side is running at high idle. When pulling either plug wire, the
engine should run for about 3-5 revolutions before dying. I think your
left side will be fine, might want to check the right side.

Paul,
When I pull just the right side plug wire, the engine dies
in about 3 revolutions. And I can hear "spitting" in the carb (seems to
come from the left side) as well when starting out when cold.
Good idea; I'll drop the left float bowl and have a look
inside.

PS - been meaning to adjust the front brakes but just
haven't found the time. I need a month of weekends to get all my
projects finished.

Bruce,
What happens when you just pull the right side? It does
sound like it's time to balance them. Might want to check the left carb
for blockages.

My Eldo hasn't been running as well as before and I
suspected one of the plugs wasn't do its job. I pulled the left side
plug wire off and the engine continued to run with a slight drop in rpms
(by audio only); slight increase when wire was re-attached. Pulled the
right side plug wire and in about 3 revolutions, the engine died.
Time to balance the carbs ??
