    I LOST my idle adjusting screw ???

    I re-built the carbs last... Oct ? Sept?.
    Yesterday, I fired the bike up again, and she purrs like new.

    But didn't want to idle. So I tried to adjust the idle... and it's gone !!?? How can this happen !!!??? Ghaahhh !!!

    I can not guarantee I ever saw it, but hope I would have noticed it was missing when I cleaned the rack. But that was 6 mos ago.

    What are the chances of me finding one of those at the Englishtown Swap meet tomorrow?

    FYI- this is for the KZ1000 Police, but the carb rack is almost identical (VM26) to my 79 1000L, so I think it's ok to post here. ?

    Anyone have one to sell, if I can't find one?
    1980 GS1000G - The Beast - GOING... GOING... yup, it's gone. I'm bikeless !!! GAaaahh !!!
    1978 KZ1000C1 Police - GONE !
    1983 GPZ750, aka ZX750A1 - restored, fresh paint... Gave it back, it was a loaner !!!

      Stretch the replacement spring a little so it puts good positive pressure against the knob this time

      NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


      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.

        I lost the knob off my 78 GS1000 sometime this past year. Not the whole adjuster, just the knob. It was idling a lit
        tle low, so I reached under to adjust it. I felt and felt, but couldn't find it. I finally looked under there and it was gone. Where? I know not.
