[QUOTE="Holger, post: 45439, member: 2894"] Kurt one thing to remember is that assuming you do not have the choke system fitted, the bike will not idle from cold without a hand on the throttle. Therefore, if it idles from cold and speeds up when warm, you need to adjust the slides. That is the screw that is angled downwards just behind the tickler in the photo you posted. If the fast idle is not a constant speed but speeds up and slows at random, then it might be fuel delivery - low fuel in the float bowl will cause the engine to run lean an run fast. One other issue seen with that carby set up is the throttle cable splitter getting sticky from a lack of use and the lubricant drying out. You will need to remove the tank, open the splitter, and spray some WD40 in there to loosen it up. [/QUOTE]
