Hi all,
My Dub continues running like a champ (knock on wood) but the last day or two I noticed a change. After adhering to the usual starting protocol, once reaching operating temp and fully moving the enrichner slide back in my idle RPMs are uncomfortably low; 600-800 area. Didn't know it could idle that low!
So, no struggles at highway speeds nor stalling or any 'hunting' for idle but the correct idle on mine was always 900-1,000 like clockwork.
I know about the magic black idle speed knob but gently turning it clockwise to raise idle RPM has yielded nothing and it only turns very little. I did not see anything binding it and sprayed with lubricant. I don't wanna force it for fear of breaking it.
Bike easily kicks over and runs well and a 'quick fix' is simply leaving the enrichment slide out slightly to ensure no low RPM at idle, but we all know this solves nothing. Thoughts? We know not plugged pilot jets because of easy starts and it does idle and no stalling. Not main jets because it does it's normal routine in 3rd gear 4800rpm at 65mph I believe, no odd noises.?
Thanks everyone! Disclaimer; ridden daily but due to new area it has to hop right on the highway after a block, this not reaching full operating temp until I basically reach the destination of a mere 7+ miles one way!
