throttle adjustment vs idle adjustment

<< < (2/3) > >>

hughes:
See attachment photo. The adjsutment at the throttle tube is for throttle free play. You should have spec amount of slack in the throttle cable.

mr.5thou sand:
do u got free play on throttle. is idle screw all the way in. is air mixture more than 2 1/2 turns out. try dropping the pilot jet in side the carb sorry if im a little late

BDI:
Do not adjust your idle with the cable. This could be dangerous, it could cause the bike to rev when you turn the handle bars. Only adjust the idle with the idle stop screw and use your adjustment on the cable for the throttle free play only. After you adjust the throttle free play turn your handle bars lock to lock with the bike running in neutral to make sure your bike does not rev up and down when the handlebars move left to right.

95 formula,
  Here's a link to an Eric Gorr carb tuning atricle,
 http://www.cyclewerksracing.com/Carb%20Tuuning.htm
It will explain a little more about the circuits
 in your carb, what they do, and how to start adjusting them.
Sometimes even when you do, do everything "According to Hoyle", Murphy's law steps in and mucks things up.
   I've had carbs with worn slides, P.O. Modified needles and off brand jets that I fought with for days.  Hang in there,
 Tuck \o/
