I have now done about 50 miles in my R4 based trike since it passed its MSVA test, and nothing major has fallen off yet, so a result so far!!
It seems to ride OK, and goes round corners reasonably well.
Performance is a bit sluggish as yet, but from some other symptoms (stutters when accelearting on light throttle and stalls occaisonally on a trailing throttle), I'm tentatively diagnosing weak mixture.
The carb is a 'direct' replacement for the Zenith 28IF sold to me by the Carb. Hospital. It took some filing to fit, and purports to be a Solex 32SE1A on the invoice, although it has Zenith cast into the body. There appears to be just the same mixture adjustment screw as on the 28IF, so I'll open it out until it feels a bit happier. If that fails I'll either borrow my dad's colourtune or investigate a Gunson gas analyser.
Do you feel I'm on the right track?
