      Won't Idle down

      If none of the posts solve your problem try going up a size on the pilot jets in the float bowl next to the main jet. You may have to go up 2.5 sizes with pilot jets ie: 45 to 47.5

      As mentioned in the other posts, check for air leaks on the inside of the intake boots for cracks, also the clamp rings wear out so replace those if they're not snug against the rubber intake boots.

      One other thing is make sure your throttle cable is lubed and with a touch of slack to allow the carbs to close all the way. Carter Turk

            yES, RUNS GREAT EXCEPT, i JUST GOT BACK FROM A LITTLE RIDE. About twenty miles into ride it acted like it wanted to die from a dead stop. Real slight hesitation. Pulled plugs, #3 real carboned. Backed out airscrew 1/4 turn. Cleaned plug and am going out for another ride.
