    Petrol tap and carb synchronising

    Hi every one can anyone confirm the petrol tap positions for me as mine fell apart and i have had to repair it.

    The other question concerns the synchronisation of the carbs , consulting the Haynes manual it states that on the RD07a the petrol tank does not need to be removed , my other question concerns the synchronisation screw are there two or just one .

    Would be grateful for any pointers,thanks

    theres a longer and a shorter end to the tap handle.
    short end up is on, short end down is reserve, i assume but never used it that short end in the middle is off

    You don't need to take the tank off to synch the carbs. There is only a single adjuster between the carbs. Make sure you don't mix it up with any other adjusters, like the pilot screws.

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!
