Trinity single carb idle settings?

[RZ350]

Ive read all over this forum about the trinity single carb but I didnt find anyone asking about idle so Id appreciate some advice.

 

I put a trinity 35mm single carb on my '85 RZ350.

I have the stock settings on the carb although I put the 195 main jet in just to be safe until I get the rest of the jets I ordered (200-230).

I have the idle screw almost all the way in to keep the bike from stalling. Is this most likely because its too rich at idle? Once warmed up when I put on the choke at idle the engine revs rise some. Im thinking maybe with the powervalves the engine needs less fuel than a banshee that doesnt have pv's? maybe?

Where do you have the idle screw on your shee's with the 35mm carb?

 

Heres a pic of the bike - its a wip:

mine's around 2 turns out. what pilot are you running? what do the plugs look like at idle?

[RZ350]

2.5 turns out on the air adjust screw. 2 turns out on the idle screw. DEK needle 3 clip down from the blunt end. Plugs looked wet..but thats after riding it and its definetly rich in the midrange. I have a new set I'll start fresh with.

 

I havent pulled the bowl off to check what pilot jet is in there but I have the 50 and 55 sitting on my bench. Is it a 45 pilot that is included and already in the carb?
