The picture shows the adjustment screw for one carb. It's down at the base, near the intake boot. Takes a flat-tip screwdriver.

I tried that a few times without luck. Do you think a pilot jet is clugged. Would one clogged pilot jet make the engine stall?

You didn't mention if the bike in question has pods or aftermarket pipes. You didn't mention jetting. You didn't note whether the bike was timed properly or the coils were getting 12 VDC or the valves were adjusted. You didn't mention whether the service fuel level had been set or whether the bike has a fuel filter, etc. Can you speak to these things? Many times, carburetor adjustments are made to compensate or attempt to compensate for other factors.

Mine was doing similar stuff and even though the carb holders appeared fine I replaced them (the seal on the engine side of the carb holder was bad on a couple of them) and no more low idle issues.

Please have some patience... some of us only look in once a day or so. If you need quicker help or tips, drop by my web site and check the Vintage Bike Forum. I check in more frequently.

I thought I was being patient... Ummmm and I did mention that it has pods and a 4 into 1 exhaust. I don't know about the jetting, timing, fuel level, valve clearance, volts, etc. It does have an inline fuel filter.
That's why I posted my questions... To find out what to do. If I knew I wouldn't have posted.:huh:
Just seems strange that the bike was running awesome and then decided not to idle under 2000.

Also the carb holders need to be replaced (if they haven't been) $61.30 at Z1Enterprises .
