JMaN05 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 alright, so after my TORS problem was solved, my quad starts up now(first time since new carb was put on). soon as i started it, she would rev to like 6,000 RPM's(may not be correct, but revs really high though). i have a single trinity 35mm carb kit with open filter.. luckily my quad starts on first kick, but as soon as that lever goes down it revs right up. any idea whats casuing this? i tried turning the idle all the way in(i believe that lowers it..)but it didnt seen to be any lower, maybe a hair. my next guess would be maybe the throttle cable is pulling, but its not, i dont think. it seems to be fine.. any ideas? all help is appreciated! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 (edited) Turning the idle screw in raises the idle, not lower...it pushes against the slide to raise it. Check that. You did turn in the idle screw...and NOT the air/fuel mixture screw, right? Make sure you have a little slack in the throttle cable...pull the air filter off, and look down the back of the carb body...you should be able to move the throttle just a hair before the slide actually opens. Make sure the cable is routed properly so it's not getting hung up on anything... And lastly....and hopefully...it's not an air leak. If none of the above work out...get a can of carb cleaner, spray it generously around the new intake system. if it dies down...you've got an air leak... Good luck.

JMaN05 Posted June 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 yea, i think i mostly got it. but the cable doesnt go all the way back down by itself. so i adjusted it so it idles there for now..until i have more will to play. but when it give it throttle it will come back and rev a couple thousand RPM's more then it should, unless it push the throttle back. so its a little stick at closed. anything i can do about that?

dajogejr Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Are you using the correct cable, and what kind of shape is it in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMaN05 Posted June 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 trinity ss throttle cable in mint condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I would double check the slide spring, the seating, make sure the little plastic collar that holds the throttle cable into the slide is seated properly...and most importantly the cable routing and proper slack...

Animalman294 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Have you checked the intake boot for holes or cracks, because air leaks will cause wierd idle situations........................ :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 IN another post...he just got a brand new Trinity to into one kit...that's why I didn't mention that too... Not out of the question, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamBigginRacing Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Got a air leak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Got a air leak Normally..I'd agree...but, he's having to push the throttle to get the slides to come back down. I think it's a cable/hardware issue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMaN05 Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 i got it to idle fine now. by banshee was always a little weird idleing. but now i have the problem where my throttle cable won't retract all the way. it will go almost all the way back and it will rev a little high right there, unless i pushed the throttle towards me (to close slide)...what do you think about this?

dajogejr Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Sounds like either something is not set quite right in the carb, or...a faulty (albeit brand new) cable... Is there something binding up in your thumb throttle possibly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
