Does anybody have a good picture of how to adjust the idle? The picture in the manual is too dark for me to see any details.

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
I have real issues getting my hands deep enough to turn the screw, especially when the engine is hot, so I use a piece of doweling I have whittled down to a half-round to push the knob. You can also use a screwdriver, but that will eventually mark up the knob.
One thing...there is a little bushing the knob sits in that can come unseated, and when it does, it makes it almost impossible to turn the knob. Discovered that after I pulled the carburetors out for the second time...
Once adjusted, it should be very stable, and if it's not, you likely have airbox/carb or carb/head airleak issues.

Hi,
Adjusting the tension on the throttle cable can also affect the idle. But assuming that the throttle cable is adjusted properly, use the big knob at the rear of the carbs between #2 and #3.
Once you have it idling reasonably well you can perform a vacuum sync and adjust the pilot screws (idle mixture screws). You'll find procedural tips in the carb pages on my little website.
Thank you for your indulgence,
