Setting up and living with Twin 45s

I have read a little about setting up the carbs roughly ready for the drive to the rolling road, doesnt seem too difficult.
What would be the time/price of a rolling road setup roughly?

Also is it true you have to adjust them every 6 months or whatever?
why is this? is it idle/mixture screws coming lose? - if so couldnt you just mark the positions of the screws after the rolling road setup?

Also on twin carbs like webber 45s, is there any kind of choke or auto choke, or is it a case of warming them up on the drive before leaving :eek:

thanks.

Sweet!!

It might be a good idea to mark the positions where the RR operator does. Just for reference sake.

I reckon a rr setup would be about 3 hours? Mine took 5 though :eek: .

For warming up it's going to be like tb's really, just hold the throttle open a little for about 30 seconds and away you go.

There fantastic :D

I've started to strip a load out of my Astra now so it's just getting quicker and quicker ;) .

Carpet's gone, sound deddening gone, 90% of the tar stuff gone, boot completly stripped, rear side panels gone and the window surrounds etc.

Mmmmmmmmm lightastic
