I'm reviving the 30 year old Valve seat after buying it from a guy who let it sit since 2009. I cleaned the gas tank, disassembled & cleaned the fuel petcock, removed and cleaned the carbs except didn't pull the air mixture screws, reset the float levels to 17mm, cleaned and checked all the rubber boots, new battery, new air filter, new plugs, cleaned all electrical connectors (had to re-solder some).
Finally put it all back together today. It took a LONG time to start; had to hook up a car batter to jump it because it cranked the juice out of my new battery.Once it started I was back to the same old problem: doesn't want to hold its idle consistently.
I also used an unlit propane torch to see if the intake boots are leaking. no change in RPM with the propane.When I do get the bike running it can rev up nice when I twist the throttle. But then come two problems.
1. Sometimes, after twisting the throttle, it doesn't want to go backdown to an idle -- it races at 1300 or so. If I turn the ignition keo off then back on real quick the idle will settle down again.
2. If I can get it to hold an idle, after awhile it wants to climb back up again. Not always, but maybe 3/4 of the time. It'll idle for maybe 30 seconds or so, then climb up and start revving high again.
Would my failure to remove & clean the Main nozzle cause these symptoms?Would my failure to measure the actual fuel level itself (using a clear plastic tube) but instead just setting the float
