Idle mix adjusting tool

You have a stock airbox and exhaust, 79 model 750 with vm carbs and it will not run on those settings?

'78 750, stock box and pipes. about 1 1/4 turn out works the best.
Right now it won't run because the pistons and cylinder are on the kitchen table.

Hmmmm, well...........I am certain you can tell the difference between when your bike is running and when it isnt. LOL I have no explanation for those settings. I do know when I bought my 79 750, it had very low miles on it and the fuel pilot screws still had the unbroken yellow sealant stripes on them. The bike had those screws set to 1 5/8th turns out from the factory across the board. I've set up VM carb 750's and 1000's and they all ran best between 1 1/2 and 1 7/8ths out. Go figger. :-)

Its probably not running because the idle mixtures were too lean, or did you just run out of paper plates? LMAO

It's not running because the 750 pistons and cylinders have been removed, and the 850 piston rings have not arrived yet. :-)

Well Hell, you're no fun at all. :-)

No, but my 750 will be when it's an 850.
And where should I set my fuel screws then, pray tell?

[earlfor]

I already told you. Damn pilots never listen. ehehehe If I had offered some coffee and a cinnamon bun with the settings, you would have been all over them. I'll even throw in some Hanukkah ham if it will make you feel better. :-)

We could listen, it just wouldn't be any fun.
I'll take you up on the ham.
