    High rpm's idle problem

    Ok, I already did the O-rings change and use the opportunity to perform a complete cleaning of everything inside the carburetors, I found some dirt. Then at the time to turn on the bike it idles (if you can call it that way?) at 5,000 rpm's. Wow, what a problem. I turned in the idle screw and just get to slow the rpm's to 3,000. I check the intake boots, the intake boots clamps and everything looks like new, the butterflies are totally closed. When I was cleaning I didn't mess with them. This morning I took a look to inside of them and saw that the carbs were wet with a little gas deposit just in back side of butterflies. I believe that the gas comes from the needle jet. Before all this cleaning procedure the bike was idling acceptable (not perfect) but the mixture were extremely rich to the 3 and 4 cylinders. HELP ME!!!!!!

    Check for cracks/alignment of the intake boots between the carbs and the motor. Those boots are marked for left and right, and the letter should be up.

      Also check that your carbs are balanced ok.
