I'm in the road. Insured, registered.

Trying to get the bike to idle consistently. Seems I'm constantly readjusting the idle knob under the carbs and fiddling with the choke. Wants to idle with different settings after cold start and when at a stop. For instance, after idling after cold start at 1100rpm, I drive for a bit and when I stop she's idling at 1800rpm or more. Any suggestions?

PS Avatar updated per request. :cheer:

Scirocco Offline Premium Member Never change a running system Posts: 3921 Thank you received: 1892	Sorry Tvag06 but in your YouTube Video i can´t see any vaccum sync level on your bottle and tube gauge. The engine sounds like a KZ750 twin @ idle and not really sync correct like 750 four cyl.. Why do you didn´t use the sync clocks and the brass restrictors you had?

Tvag06 Topic Author Offline User Posts: 116 Thank you received: 5	the guages were still oscillating too much with the brass to be useful for me. The bottles were far easier to monitor the adjustments I was making. They are as close to balanced I could get after about an hour.

Made some diy restrictors for my carb sync bottle guages. Haven't tested them yet. Put this bike up for sale. I'll work on it until it sells.

One other thing, I can't figure out why the bike pulls right when I apply the rear brake. Where's my issue? Thanks again guys
