    Thanks guys ! I don't understand it but backing off on the idle screw and some cable adjustments got me idling again at a 1000rpm. Now i have to sync this puppy. Any suggestions would be great!

    Thanks for ideas. I will try the idle screw even though i doubt it will help. I also would like to sync the carbs which i have never done and any info is much appreciated. I will try idle screw now and let you guys know how it goes!

    I bought the bike last year (20k) miles and got running this year. First thing I did was take carbs off and cleaned and inspected (looks great). The carb boots look good leak tested good as well. Hold all four slides back and idle goes down to 1000 rpm, release them and they close, idle climbs to 3000 rpm. What did I change by fixing the slide issue it had???????

    Thanks for reply. No I haven't, don't understand how the idle screw would need adjusting now, idle was good before. I thought about that......... If I hold all four slides back ( not one or two) the idle goes down to 1000 rpm.

    Hi there venture riders, I am posting a thread for the first time ever and here! I have enjoyed this forum since I bought my 83' venture 1200 and now have a reason to find some help. My bike ran good but lacked full power, I took off air box and noticed left rear diaphram slide not opening. I took outside cap off and found the metal sleeve seperated from the plastic slide. I took a little epoxy and reassembled properly, diaphram looked great. I started the bike and checked operation ( all 4 working properly) it now when warm idles at 3000 rpm. Checked choke and throttle cables lubed them and saw they were operating properly. I feel this is a vacuum related issue and can't find the fix Thanks in advance for any help, this bike is my only transportation right now.
