Hey everybody!,
I am new here but I have already found a butt-load of excellent info!
I have a project bike I am putting together, but have run into a little snafu.
The bike starts fine with the choke. The RPMs will raise, as they should then I turn the choke off. It Idles perfectly for about a minute, then the RPMs begin to climb. When it is warmed up, it idles @ about 3000 rpm! Adjusting the idle screw does not help, I can make the idle go higher, but not lower. The throttle cable is not binding, and is adjusted. Could this be an air/vacuum leak? The previous owner "jetted" the carbs, could the idle jets be too big? Any input would be appriciated!
