I can start the engine, the idle is set to about 1500 or so.
I turn the throttle lightly and the engine goes straight to 6000 and stays until I turn the bike off.
I have checked almost everything the maintenance guide.
Replaced both float valves as 1 would stick in
Replaced the rubber o rings on the pilot screws as one had ripped
Checked for leaks at idle around the carb boots
Still using factory air box
Please you have to help! If I have to spend anymore time with these people...... :blink:
