Hello,
I've had the carbs off the bike, to clean the pilot jets but also gave the rest a swizz round with the carb cleaner and an air line.
Also put a new throttle cable on and a new RH switchgear housing (the last one for another reason).
I've put it all back together, and started her up. Idle shoots up to 3,000rpm and stays there, with the enricheners on or off. It was fine before, but I've put the throttle stops out a bit just in case.
The carb rubbers are good and I've checked for air leaks as well with a can of easy start.
Carbs are balanced as per Lunmad's youtube video
I can only think that the slides are too "up", but everything's adjusted as much as I can to have them down.
Any idea for a solution? If that is the problem I'm considering shortening the middle adjuster threaded portion.
Position of slides as low as I can get them:
Position of adjusters:
Thanks,
Dan
