202banshee Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 I know I need a manual but dont have one yet. Downloaded the one on here and it helped a bunch along with alot of help from you all. Ok I have fac carbs with tors caps.I have 2 large screws on the caps (which I believe are the idle screws) To small brass ones that are almost flush (left side of each carb) But i also have two large ones that are brass in color with nuts to lock. No matter how I adjust these I get no change. Originally I thought they were idle screws. But you guys tell me no, I have got my idle down to a respectable point with a combo of adjusting the screws up top and backing off the cables and synching the carbs better. BUT what are the side screws for THANKS HELP Also remember I just bought this from a guy that done a great bit of screw turning on carb trying to get it to run. Quote

Large screws on top of TORS boxes are idles. Small brass screws on left of carbs towards filter side are air bleed screws for fine idle-1/8 throttle adjustment. Larger screws on side with lock nuts sounds like idle screws for TORS eliminator kit. Someone probably took the kit off and put the TORS back on just for you. Might shoot a pic but if that is the case, back the side screws most of the way out and tighten and never touch them again unless you put a TORS eliminator kit back on. Brandon Quote

Brandon You know what that had crossed my mind but I thought who would be that stupid LOL Should i worry about them sealing to prevent an air leak ??? Quote

Also with my idle screws all the way out should there by any gap at all between slide bottoms and carbs. I couldnt get my idle down till I backed off the cables and that let the slides drop down some but they would probably go more. Quote

You need to just back off the side idle screws to where they do not contact the slides and tighten them. No need to remove and seal the holes. Use the top idle screws. If your cable is tight, it should not be. You must have some slack at the throttle lever for things to work right. If your TORS system is unplugged, you can use the side idle screws but it could present carb balancing problems. Brandon Quote
