the bit where you are pressurising the floats mate (to counter the boost pushing the fuel back down the mainjet) you may need to damper/slow it down

Yeah, that's the pitot tube
According to uncle bobs turbo bike page,the pitot tube (which goes to float bowls) acts as a restriction to the incoming air, and will see slightly higher pressure than rest if carbs, to help richen the mixture when on boost.
That's my understanding of how it works,
So maybe a smaller pitot would give less richness lol ?

Nothing like that round here
Someone's done it for a laugh so it'll be nearby
yea it could be though. i left my two spare car batteries, faulty gearbox and worn out driver seat with subframe. (i was about to take this subframe out) someone took all of them ffs (there are alot of metal scrap people around in my area.
)there is a bad new recently for me.... my dad forget to lock his car late night so someone came and took my little brother's new trainers and £540 coins.
my area is so nice people and quietly too. i don't know why these people are so bad and to commit their crimes too. they came in another night again so my brother was awake overnight. he opened the window then swore to them. they were literally ran off. In the summer time, i will need to put more security and protection.

Not been to bad so far, had to stop at an allotment and borrow some water, radiator hose had little hole in it!
My swirl pot thing I made seems to be leaking fuel too round the threads I cut into it, I've got loads of old co2 cans I kept so I can make a better version.
This thing under the yellow wire was smoking to whilst I was changing the hose, I've taken the spade connectors of to let it cool down,
What is it and why would it be smoking?
Also, there's a plume of blue smoke on hard acceleration, jus as I put my foot down, I can't tell if its still coming out whilst at speed, only notice it once I've put foot down and between gears sometimes
Any thoughts?
On a good note, turbos are fricking awesome!

Don't know what happened to my reply
Anyway, what I said was, you're very welcome re: manual and as Frank says, you'll piss a rebuild after what you've achieved so far

Best way of doing it mate. So much fun rebuilding. Harmonic damper puller, torque wrenches, ring compressor, gasket maker, gunk, locktite, valve removal tools, engine stand would be a luxury. lots of light... That's wat I learned. Also a wide work top. Great fun looking forward to my next rebuild.That costs money, that I've blown on insurance. Plus I wanna learn new things so rebuild would be more fun

I live in a first floor flat, with no space, the misses went mad after I rebuilt the carbs in the front room!
I was thinking of getting an engine stand....... And sneaking it into the workshop and take over a corner, I've only jus got rid of the last mess I left in there from all the stuff I've been making so he'll be we'll chuffed!
