help with idle adjustment

(1/6) > >>

bjohn07:
so im not able to adjust idle at all, screw in or out has no change. if i loosen or tighten the upper part of the cable at the throttle idle will adjust  but i get surging.  any ideas. 

sandblaster:
What are you adjusting, pilot or stop screw?

throttle stop is the one im adjusting.  could a lean pilot jet be the cause of not being able to set idle.

cmotodad:
You say there is no change. Does it take a little longer to die with the screw in?

bjohn07:
no.  about the same. bike will run on its own and idle will slowly die down. after about 15 seconds the bike stalls.  so ive just been giving it gas to keep it form stalling.  im running a 58 pilot jet in it.     only way i can get the bike to idle is to tighten up the slack on the cable itself.  but i know thats not the right way of doing it.
