[/quote I put a vitos carb cable on and I was wanting to know if you think that is where it is leaking the cable has rubber wrapped around the top of the carb caps and I was wondering when I put it together if that had to seal all the way ,the rubbers won't stay on they keep sliding up the cable. If that doesn't matter where would you look for the leak at. Thanks for the help

to look for an air leak you'd be looking at your intakes and reeds/spacers, etc.......NO the black rubber boot that holds your cable on top of carbs is only used to somewhat keep the cable secured from popping up and to keep debris from getting in that area possibly making your throttle stick.....I'd say it's either an air leak, or like the other guy said, you should only be able to see about 1/8-1/4 inch when looking into the intake side of your carbs with the air filters off.....if they're higher than that they need adjusted down......that's most likly your problem......there's a couple ways to gain slack for your throttle cable, 1 is up on the handlebars actually on your throttle cable adjuster nut, 2 is on top of your carbs you can spin in or spin out the throttle cable guide (the metal piece that your throttle cable fits into that the black rubber piece, as mentioned above, fits over and protects) to gain more slack as well, the 3rd way is of course your idle screw will move it up or down some as you said you've already tryed, 4th way is your air screw, you can adjust this to allow more air/fuel mixture or or decrease it, this sometimes will help in idleing right.....also reving high is a sign of being LEAN.....if you're main is super lean it will idle real high also....hope this helps

Thanks guys I took the plastic and the tank off to retork the jugs and I found my throttle cable was hung on the frame under the gas tank I gave it some slack and put it together and it runs great,I thought it had power before,I can't wait until I can hold it wide open there is nothing like a banshee THANK GUYS :beer:
