Post the video, or upload it to youtube and give us a link as i'm sure we would all like to see it and it might help others if it's related to a Z13 unit

Hi i will try the second hand one turned up but didn't work and the one i had fixed leaked again.Zed parts said to return it for a refund but i needed it opened it up and tested it wasn't earthing.Sent them both to my local instrument shop and he added a earth strap to it and its all good.THE other one that leaked hes has put two rubber washers to seal it .Finally got to ride the bike again but its not idling on all Cylinders

Finally got to ride bike for about 30miles tonight hoping to take it to a classic bike meet tomorrow .Yes miss goes away just above idle but after the ride it got better.then the last ride its dropped a cylinder bad and takes a lot of throttle to clear it now there is a carb flooding theirs fuel dripping off float bowls.Ive brought some new inlet manifolds mine have been rtved by last owner would like to buy scotchs carb tool have messaged him .I'm going to take my cbx instead there's a classic bike display and i will go both days and take a different bike ill post some pictures Cheers Graham

I'd hazard a guess you have an idle circuit plugged or the screw maladjusted on that carb. The fact that it improved tells me it is probably a plugged circuit. You cleared or partially cleared it but there is still a problem somewhere as evidenced by the flooding and leaking.
