idles high when hot

[stephaner142]

I went for a little ride with my daughter for 45 min. I took it easy, didn't go past 2nd gear. It ran just fine. I droped her off at home and went for a realy good rip for 20 minutes and wen I let off the gas she wont idle down. It feels like she stays at 1/2 throttle

and wont idle down. is this because she is runing hot or what.

 

I gave the motor new seals last week. cleaned the crabs, checked the boots, she still has stock bore with 120psi on both cylinders and I just installed boysen two stage reeds. I turned the air screw down 1/2 turn like the instructions sead. does anyone have any ideas.

sounds like it could be an air leak. what all did you replace? did you put new intake gaskets on? did you make sure the carbs went back together correctly?

yep, I added new gaskets when I changed the reads. and carbs are on properly. I talked to my brother and he says its just a carb tuning problem. I checked the plugs and they're a little on the rich, I've got stock 200 mains.

 

I went for a ride with my brother last night and in an hour I went through 3/4tank of gas and my brothers yfz 450 only burned 1/4 tank. Is it normal for her to be that hard on gas.

Word. I doubt it's a carb tuning problem.:geek:
