Title: Idle sticking at 4k
Post by: SkyBob on January 22, 2015, 02:44:50 PM
Hello! Thanks for attempting to help me, anyways I own a 93 with 10k miles on it, ran okay but I just cleaned and rejetted the carbs for the Vance&hines full exhuast and lunchbox airbox.I didn't mess with the float since I'm not quite sure on them. Runs so much better, real snappy and quick...but.....a warm idle sits at 4k and I've checked all the vaccumm lines, throttle cable, choke cable and still idling high. Any idea? :( also the carbs are set to the stock pilot, 150 main, 1 washer and 3 turns out. Buddhas recommendation. Thanks

Have you adjusted the idle screw? It's the big one with the knob on it that hangs down between the carbs.
It's what's supposed to set the idle rpms, assuming all other parts of the system are functioning correctly.
