[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 168263, member: 98"] ok finally got an idle that not to lean ...had a day where i could work on hooch and try and figure it out ....when i stop the gas from going to the mix screw completely that replace a temporary one that didnt stop all the gas ...when that happen i started having idle trouble some ....it went way lean .. but it also got some good mpg reading ...i know this 32-34 dft carb big time ..... so today i decided that i needed to close up the fixed air bleed on this carb ....this should be a jet and not fixed at all like the main jets are ....so the top came off carb ..still on the bike ...no problem there if you been following this thread you know i have a carb air bleed under the throttle plate that goes to the air box ...a mod i did early last summer ... so after reducing the size of air bleed ...i fill the hole some with a safty pin a small one really small..made long enough to come out easy ....it went rich again on me.... so from there i reduced gas idle jet ...again by plugging hole some ...as i have no tools here to work with ... a wire brush bristle is what i used ...have no idea what the sizes are on anything ....but this gave me a idle that falls right back to idle and hangs there ...ive been about 10 miles on it and its doing fine so far we will see .. this is not a how too post ...its desperation post on what you can do to get by.......sort of a caveman style.... man carburation is a touchy thing and be in the sweet spot :builder: :thanks: [/QUOTE]
