    Idle issue

    I am having an idle issue. It will idle fine then as it warms up it idles gradually moves up to around 4000. I think I have an air leak? One other thing. The holes in the intake for vacuum synching only have the screw in it. I lost one of the brass washers. Could that be it? Thanks!

    Definitely sounds like an air leak.

    I don't think that missing only one washer will cause that much of an issue, but it's not helping anything, either.

    Have you replaced your intake boot o-rings?

      No I haven't. They where in perfect condition. I could try re sealing them though.

        Or you could replace the O rings.

          I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
