Jetting!!! Again and again and again!
umberto:
That's awesome! That bike is in too good a shape not to run. Watch out Lake Draper, here we come!

i noticed something weird today, i started the bike (first kick very nice) and it slowly kept reving up as the engine was getting warmer, when the engine was hot it kept going up and down i tried screwing the idle screw out a few turns without success, after a short ride, the bike wouldnt idle at all :? any ideas?

i recently had the carb out to change the jets, could this be the reason there might be air in the carb and thus why it wont idle since i turned the idle screw to far out?
Foxx4Beaver:
very possible...which way did you go with the jetting, richer or leaner?....and which jets did you change?
