Running, but idle is 6-7K RPM
I had a few minutes this afternoon so I pulled the carb out again, double checked the 120/40 jets and general condition/operation of the carb (mostly the choke setup). Everything looked normal to me so I put it back in and this time it fired right up. Didn’t need the choke either. Problem is the idle is crazy high at 6-7K RPM. Tried tuning it by tightening both the air and idle screws all the way in and then setting them to 1.5 turns and 2 full turns respectively. No change with high idle when I started it again. I quickly made another half turn on the air screw bringing it to 2 full turns which “smoothed” it out and eliminated the popping sounds. I then tried adjusting the idle screw, but I couldn’t get any change after 3 full turns taking it to 5 total. Was afraid to go anymore as it was getting pretty loose.
What I’m I doing wrong with this thing? So far I have owned this bike for over a month and it still only has 4 miles on it.
