I sent an email and it failed to reach the group.

Any way here goes again....

I got the throttle discs - I managed to fit them both with ease - but one thing 
sticks out. The old discs had 1.5mm-ish holes in them - centrally located in 
the top half of the disc. But the new ones dont have a hole. As you may 
remember - the problem I had was the gap between the disc and the venturi. The 
gap is now pretty much non existant - but still exists very slightly - but 
surely the hole would have had an effect! thats if its not meant to be there...


Im yet to fit the actual carbs - I need advice about the hole/non-hole 
situation.


Im almost ready to give up on my new carbs..... but for some strange reason the 
choke on the old carbs isnt working since I refit them - I possibly changed a 
setting by mistake on one of them - the engine runs smoothly once warmed up and 
the choke is disengaged - but when I use the choke for starting, the engine 
runs very rough - almost like its running one sided if you know what I mean - 
big bang little bang.... Ive checked that that both chokes are being engaged....
