I'm sure this is an easy fix but here goes...
Solved an air leak problem but now she loves the choke (get your mind out of the gutter).
'80 Kz550 start/runs fine on choke but when warmed up and I take her off choke, she revs really high (almost red-lining) for several seconds (max about 30) and then idles lower and lower and dies within 3-5 seconds.
Is it something with the fast/slow idle circuit?
I did clean the carbs as well as I could last year (hasn't been ridden since). Some screws were stripped/seized thanks to the previous owner so I couldn't get to all the needle assemblies.
