    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • 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.

So I have an 1980, 850 with pod type filters, it "was" running fine and now when I get a few miles on it and she's all warmed up, the idle starts getting real high, even when riding, I'll pull the clutch in to shift it doesn't want to come down, stays in a higher rev.
When I stop again, I'll adjust the idle down to normal, take off and soon it's high revving again....Seems as though when it gets hotter it causes the high idle, what gives???
Thanks for any help.

Hey Kenny.:) Mixture is lean. Air leak is the most common reason - carb boot o-rings often leak. Could also be the pilot screw adjustment- needs to be out further to richen up the mixture.

As a general comment, hope you rejetted the carbs for use with pods; the jetting will be overly lean otherwise.

Good luck.
 
I did rejet them and it has been running fine, it has just started to do this, that's why I was wondering in which direction to start looking for the issue.
Thanks, I'll check around the boots.:)

Had the same happen to me, and after advice on these damn O rings, had a look and they were brittle and crappy. Changed them over with gen Suzuki and fixed the problem Running like a gem now, and no idling probs. The bride runs lean and mean at times, I wonder if if I changed rings would that solve the prob on that as well, hmmmm....
 
Great article Nessism, thanks for postin' that...looks like I'm taking them off AGAIN! LOL:)
