Hi Ashley, One thing I learned on my Commando during my restoration is to have a little slack in the throttle cable at the twist grip. Initially I had zero play/zero slack and everytime I went to turn the handle the engine would pick up in rpm's. I have approximately 1/8" slack and that setting seems to work well...
Absolutely brilliant video Ashley that’s the way I settled on doing it on mine :) good to know I’m doing it the right way, one tip for anyone fitting premier concentric carbs on the 650SS double check your pilot jets, I had a case where they had come with the wrong ones fitted when they were new :) On monoblocs on the 650SS now a premiers on the 68 Commando :)
Hi , I've just come across your videos and very good and informative they are , I presume it would be basically the same process with a 650ss with older concentrics ? Thanks
WOW!!!! Never thought of your vernier method for setting the slide; brilliant . A very useful video .. thankyou Ash
Glad it was helpful!

great tips👍. ....ive done the plug off one side thing once, many years ago and got zapped by the magneto😂
Also Ashley , taking a plug off to tune with electronic ignition is not good either .

Absolutely with a little bit of thought it can be used on any carb set up to get you close to where you need to start from.
