my idle is fucked up i start it up it will have high rpms then it goes back down to low rpms and then dies. i do it again same **** happens. i did have it going very well for about 10 minutes.i took the exhaust off to take gaurds off.then i start it up goes to **** i have adjusted the screw many times but what do i do with the screw to the left. oh and i have sprayed carb gumout cleaner in the bitch to help it


any help would be greatly apreciated

 

If that's all you did , i would say the exhaust isn't seated the same way to the head , when you first took it off , making it run different .

Run the bike to get all the carb cleaner you sprayed in there out . Don't know if you have a air filter or stock filter housing on there , but make sure you didn't super soak it with the carb cleaner .

Try to get the bike warmed up , by keeping the throttle open some and riding it . After this , if the idle is too low , and can't keep the bike running , try adjusting the idle screw first .

If that doesn't work , look at , and remember what position the fuel/air screw is .

Hold the throttle at a high idle (not super high , just a high idle) . Then slowly turn the fuel/air screw in (closckwise) till the rpm's drop a little . Then slowly turn it out till they pick back up .

Then release the throttle , and try to adjust the idle screw , so the bike idles .

 

thanks man i really apreciate it. and it worked

 

UPDATE: my carb is leaking gas out of the float drain tube when it warms up and idles.when it idles the gas leaks out like a heavy drip not stream and the idle will go into high rpms then low. ill revv it and it will stay in high rpms even when i let off for another 5 seconds sometimes. you guys think i should just tear it down or rebuild it or just get 18mm carb from bbr??

 

Being that you pulled the exhaust, you should check all the head and intake gaskets and bolts.

I know for a fact that a leaky valve cover gasket on the front of head can cause leaks and idle fluctuations.

FOREVER I thought I had carb trouble. I had stopped a small oil drip from that gasket impatiently with a bead of high temp RTV silicone. BAD CALL!

Tried 3 carbs before detecting the actual problem.

Make sure all gaskets are good on head and intake and everything is tight and I'll bet your woes will be over.

 

thanks ill check it out
