Idles really high

[Isaac_62]

Hey guys,

 

Well i just finished with a rebuild. Just started the bike up and it seems to idle really high. I have tors removed. i just got through syncing the carbs. I have v force 3 rreds and the stock carb setup. I dont think i have a leak of air somewhere but i cant figure out why im idling so high. The idle screws are all the way out,the choke tube is between the carbs and its still idling really high. could it be that my pilot jet being too big has something to do with it? could it be i have a leak around the crank seals which are brand new? could it be a base gasket leak? there is no play in my throttle after i synced the carbs, could it be the slides are not all the way down? what do you guys think? I just cant figure this out... All help is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Couldn't be pilots too big, but could be pilots clogged (or too small; too big would likely be rich and boggy). Might be air leak at base gaskets or crank seals, have you tried spraying ether on it while idling to try to find a leak? Carefully heh, don't hose it down or anything, but if the revs change when you hit a certain spot you've found it, include the reeds in the spraying, could be torn boot or cage/boot bolts not tight enough. Delta's like large pilots too, did you go to 30's? Or still 25's? Might be ok with stock 25 pilots if not piped but might need to step up depending on what airscrew adjustment does. Have you tried richening the airscrews (not the idle speed screws from the TORS removal)? Good luck.

Ya, I've also used starter fruid to track down air leaks in the intake boots, you'll definately notice a change in the idle when you hit the leak.............
