I give up. The carbs have broken me.

[praefex]

So I am at the final straw. I think I am giving up on these carbs. I can't make them work correctly. They have broken me. I am humbled by their mysteries and I'm sure their secrets will be kept longer than anything Egyptian.

That said, I think there was someone on this board who will setup carbs correctly. I'm looking for that person now! I jut need the carbs overhauls, replaced parts, whatever. I just wanna ride my bike. Thats all!

Currently the problem is:

Bike starts fine. Revs fine. When the bike gets warm, and you rev it the rpms stay up and keep climbing. So I turn down the idle screw. The makes the idle drop really low. So when you rev it and aare going like 10k rpms, pull in the clutch and stop the bike the rpms come down to 0 and the bike dies.

I just replaced the intake manifolds yesterday and checked for airleaks with carb cleaner. Previous to yesterday, I would spray with carb cleaner and the bike would die, now it doesn't do that anymore. Yay. So I think I solved the airleak problem.

Send me an email or something so we can talk off list whomever you are! I think his name was srinrath or something to that effect!

Thanks!
Matt

not all airleaks are on the outside, there are many Orings inside these carbs, some under the diaphram cap, and even, under the the plastic slide guide below the emultion tube.  reving high when warmed up is a lean issue, not rich. might also want to try blocking off the vacume line that runs to the petcock on the frame.  it COULD be sucking air, switch over to prime when you test this out.
