wait a sec, I though willy was on a 94? Those didn't have brass caps did they?

When did they start installing those?  Maybe I'm just confused.

Yep, I've got the brass caps--I went home and checked at lunch today.  The issue has recently started, happening on my last two rides.  I don't have a whole lot of time logged in on the bike yet, but it seems like a recent issue.

Brass caps have been installed for as long as Federal Emmission Standards have been in place.  I'd say since before 1975.

I had something similar happen after I had ridden for 15 minutes or so, the rpms would shoot to 3000 to 5000. Adjusted the idle, and it went away. The same problem at stops, though. The bike was new to me, and I had a couple of scary starts before I figured out what was happening. Just a thought. It may or may not apply. It was a 5 minute fix, though, and no problems since.

Cheers

Thanks Bob,

The idle was off when I bought the bike.  The RPMs were way too low and the bike would not start moving unless I gave it a lot of throttle.  I adjusted it right after I bought it and now the RPMs sit at the recommended idle spot (1200-1500).
