Tony, I started this thread:-
The other day it was 39 deg C on the road, Fuel tank was 56C, carb 55C, manifold 84C and rad 76C and the 7 didn't like that ........
A drop of 55 deg + between the carb and the venturi bearing in mind the massive butterfly on the FZB22 carb, icing I would think would be rare (at those temperatures). The link to the BP site was an interesting read, where some of the constituent parts of fuel vapourise at 40 deg, could it actually be a case of over rich and "flooding"
It could indeed; when I took the plugs out they were black - so that's another avenue to explore. However, the freezing-cold area around the venture was very real indeed....
