High Idle Hot Pipes Help again

Hi i cleaned my carbs out the other day and put them back on and the bike wouldnt fire up would just keep cranking. then i took them back off the next day one carb seemed dry the other had brownish gas in it and the other one had some white junk in it. re claened the carbs again and put back together bike fired right up but now my pipes are super hot and doesnt seem like my idle adjusment knob is doing anything does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it will ride at like 2k rpm but jumps and drops randomly and smokeing hot pipes all but #2. i got 1983 kz750 f-1 ltd air pods and 132 main jet was running like a champ before the carbs were takin off i didnt do anything but a cleaning any help would be nice this is my olny transportation thanks! all boots are in good condition. if anyone knows what the float bowl hight should be that would help also

Help us to understand. If the bike was running like a champ before you removed the carbs what symptoms led you to believe the carbs needed to be removed and cleaned? Was there some problem you were trying to fix? Ed

well i have the air pods on there and i seen some of the air filter oil got in there so i cleaned them out

You didn't say what type of carbs, but I would suspect you didn't clean them well enough. Brown and white junk you can see means it probably got somewhere you couldn't see. Are you removing all the carb parts (jets, floats, needle valves, etc) and verifying the passages are clear? When you have the floats on turn the carbs upside down and blow through the fuel supply tube lifting each float, 1 at a time, to verify they're both flowing and stopping. I use a piece of urethane tubing on all the passages with one end in my mouth to make sure they're all clear. You get instant feedback if something is clogged or partially blocked. Do you have a carb diagram so you know where all the jets are? If not, Sudco has many diagrams on their website. There's a nice procedure posted by Patton on many of the carb threads about checking passages.

ok thanks at least someone finialy had something that could be helpful thanks again will try when i get off work

Did you remove the airbox & install the pods?
What type or brand of pod filters? The dry type or do they need to be oiled? Old or new?
Was it running like a champ w the pod filters? And at all RPMs?
Is the Kawasaki clean air system stuff still installed?

Make sure any unused vacuum ports are capped & that the caps are good, not cracked or crumbling.
Spray carb cleaner or something around the carb holders to check for vacuum leaks.
If the rpms change, you've found a leak.

yes ran like crap with air box reboved box put on dry pods that i oil. stedy idle and 1100 with good throtle response changed 100 main jet with 132 got filter on rebreater hose i think and on the crank case idle doesnt change from 3k idle adjustment screw doesnt do anything but make it rev higher

Back off your throttle cable adjustments.
That might take care of your fast idle.

And you went from a #100 main jet to a (132?)main jet?

Man that is a HUGE :ohmy: jump in size just for filters.
