Hi
My carbs are zx9r/e not R1's
If the R1 carbs are the same then
1 i had to drill the main jets to 1.7mm
2 the air screws are one turn out
3 the carbs must be balanced
4 on the carbs i have the hole in line with the main needle is blocked this stops the fuel /air mix going week at high revs
and we put two washers under the main needle
I must stress you must get it rolling roaded to get it right

and check all the main neidles are all at the same hight,then make sure thay are fixed to the manifuild,by the pipe and clips,mine poped off a cupple
of times.
good luck

Update.
Spent a quiet night shift on the interweb looking for stuff on bike carbs and found an article that showed how Bogg Bros. themselves installed R1
carbs on a vauxhall engine. Brilliant.
This gave me the confidence to remove strip down, check and replace the carbs. No problems but, no change
Couple of mates came round today armed with gear to wet test, all fine. A bore scope, all fine. And a trick timing light.
We set the timing on tdc. We set the dizzy timing. Well out and then set to 12Degrees. We set the valve clearences. Some were out. One then noticed a
small water leak around the inlet manifold so we removed it. Somehow i'd managed to chew this up on instal and water had been leaking into 2 and
3 and posibly an air leak from 1. Went and got a new Ford one from local dealer. NO CHANGE
Rang another mate after ringing Bogg Bros who's gonna come and set them up proper with all the gear next week.
If that doesnt work they are going back.

I think i would go 2l Zetec with 1.8 head and throttle bodies. I love turbo'd cars but not in something so light as one of these. God that
sounds like a good idea but the bank balance couldnt cope.
Thanks for trying to chear me up anyway
