Ajs Daytona problem fixed
Posted: Fri Jan 01, 2016 11:49 am
Hi
I have a 2010 Ajs Daytona .
I purchased it off eBay last year but when it arrived there was no power at all .
I stripped the carb and cleaned it after learning it was only firing on one cylinder by touching each exhaust in turn .
Tried the bike again and hey presto all working great, but couldn't get above 50 miles per hour ,it just seemed to lag at that speed .
I decided to take the carb off again and check the clearances in the butterfly valves ,I also noticed that the choke lever was only lifting one of the choke tubes in the carb so I fixed that .
I also screwed in each mixture screw all the way in and screwed both out by one and a half turns ,put the carb back on and tried it again .
The bike was fantastic I can get between 60 and 70 mph now and I'm 15 stone 😃
Regards
Dave
