Where is the throttle stop screw located on a 1982 GS650GLZ?

[Guest]

Just bought a 1982 GS650GLZ and the idle is down around 900rpm then eventually conks out. Want to increase the idle speed but I can't find the throttle stop screw. I downloaded the GS650G manual and the location diagram (chapter 2, page 12) is so dark I can't make out the details. Any help would be most appreciated.

Look on the back of the carbs in the middle. You should see a wheel with some notches in it. Either reach your hand in there to adjust it or use a long flat blade screw driver to turn it using the notches. That's what I do as my fat hands get burned otherwise. It's part number 73 in the below diagram.....

Another 650 - these things must be cloning themselves! From left side of bike (clutch lever side) ,reach your hand in right under the middle of carbs- you will feel a knurled knob that is the idle stop screw.
just bought it? Figure it's way behind in maintenance and needs some loving

You can adjust it when the engine is warming up in order to keep it running (as the butterfly valves have to be open a little in order for the "choke" to work), but remember to do the final adjustment after the engine is up to full operating temperature. Then don't touch it.
