Hey guys,
It's been suggested to me that I replace the fuel filter before I start fiddling with the carbs. I read the postings on how to do this, pulled the fuel filter, ran to the auto store for a match, installed the new filter and it looks good so far.
To recap, in the past 2 days I've;
installed new sealed battery
changed spark plugs
installed new fuel filter
Up to this point the choke has had a negative effect on starting the bike. Today with the choke on full, bike fired up and was running at a high RPM. I quickly pulled the choke back a bit so bike was idling around 1k on the tach. However, after letting it run for a few minutes, I pulled the choke to off and the bike was idling around 400 on the tach.
If the tach is accurate, I'm idling too low, right?
If I understand the advice, what I need to do now is adjust the idle on each carb (4 of them) to get the idle up to 1k??? I've never adjusted the idle on a 4 carb bike, what's the procedure for doing this?
Attached is a photo of one of my carbs. Is the idle adjustment screw the red arrow (and the idle screw is in the deep slot) or is it the green arrow (and I have to remove that silver plate thingie)?
I'm working the program guys :}
