[Poot]

Hi again all,

I was planning to leave tommorow on a trip , as i fixed up my bike relatively speaking but I'm having one last probelm



The bike, starts and idles fine, and the choke seems to work well, but when I ride, and twist the throttle, the rpms stay up even though i release the handlegrip.

I checked the choke and throttle cable free play, and its within the 1-2mm spec, and it seems to snap back just fine.


I'm thinking the problem might be witht the throttle plates on the carbs??



any help would be very much appreciated.
thanks.

Lean

It sounds as though it's running very lean....check your plugs...I'll bet they'll be ashen and white. If so, adjust your air screws so that your plugs look tan and your RPMs will be absolutely perfect.....I'll bet that's it.

I'm not so sure.


It was running fine before i changed my head and basegaskets, and I havent done anything to the carbs besides take them off, and put them on.


It seems as if there is a little extra space with the throttle valves, but i guess they're supposed to be like that?? I didnt touch them , so i dont see how it would change anything.

Hmmmm

If you had some slight air leaks that were corrected by taking the carbs off and putting them back on, that might account for the difference....but that does seem like a stretch. Still, I'd check the condition of the plugs and go from there. That would certainly be the place to start.:-D

plugs seem ok.

i had forgotten to tighten the air-filter boots both times. think this would do it?

im thinking maybe, b/c it allows it to draw in a lot more air.

(i had just tightened the box on, and not the clamps to see if it ran at all, and forgot )

Possible

Yes, that's possible but it seems to me that it would be unlikely to make a huge difference unless it was quite loose. Tighten 'her up and see what happens. Something's making your bike run lean and, hopefully, that was it.!\\/

Did you sync your carbs?
