Re: Everything You Need To Know About Carburetors
I need to work on this when I get the chance. Lord knows I've been through my carbs 30 times this past year.

Re: Everything You Need To Know About Carburetors
We should also post carb settings for reference.
Idle adjust
Hey fellow fzrers. Have not posted in a while. Quick question about the idle adjust screw/knob. Which way to turn and how sensitive are the turns. My idle has slowly gotten worst. I used the adjust knob but I think I made it worse.
Do we have any links to a proper carb cleaning with what should be checked or replaced. If not any useful information form anyone here and I will do a write up with photos/video. Things like dipping them, needle replacement, gaskets, floats, those brass color tube things that lose there oval orifice shape.

There is already a well documented sticky on carb cleaning on the forum. If you think that a new picture would help or you feel something is lacking please feel free to add to it in the WIKI.

I can never remember which way either, so I let the bike warm up (short ride) then twiddle the knob till it sounds right ( at about 1200rpm usually)

Re: Idle adjust
IIRC turn the knob clockwise to raise the idle.

That is odd, check your air box seating & filter cleanliness plus the fact while you have the air box off that the idle cable is actually working when you twiddle it may just be frayed broken.

Re: Idle adjust
Yes, clockwise will increase the RPMs. Yours might be stripped or unscrewed al the way, perhaps?
In this photo, you can clearly see the idle adjust screw - top left. It has the flex area covered in the black plastic sheathing.
*Note: These are Cali carbs and have 2 tubes shown on the right that may or may not be like your bike. I removed and plugged those holes.

Re: Everything You Need To Know About Carburetors
Thanks for the great pic. Yours look really clean. Did you dip them and do a rebuild?

Re: Everything You Need To Know About Carburetors
No dip... just carb cleaner. A brass brush on some things. I was lucky to get a bike in such good condition.
The only items I updated were emulsion tubes from Factory Pro and a DynoJet jet kit.
