Pincushion Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I just picked this bike up and everything is great except the idle is set too low. It has an aftermarket twitch throttle and carb caps (no TORS). Where the hell is the idle adjustment? I did search, but came up blank. thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE GRIM RIPPER Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 When you elimate the Throttle overide setup you must drill and tap new idle screws into the side of the carb b/c your idle adjustment before was in the TORS system... Lokk on the side of the carb, there should be a flathead and jamnut.. If thats not there someone never took the time to make thier idle adjustable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Jackson Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 should be a brass screw right below the choke lever on the right, and another on outside of other carb too of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenBB Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 It should have idle screws facing the outside of each carb (LH one on left, RH one on right), but you have to drill & tap those when installing a TORS removal kit so the previous owner might not have done it: You can use the cable adjusters on the tops but they won't work well, Toomey and others should sell just that part of the kit, it would be worth doing...

Pincushion Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) Thanks to all for the replies! The PO never did it. Any input on the best place to get them? Edit; never mind that last part. I missed the part where you mentioned Toomey should sell them. I'll check them out. Thanks!
