Adjusting idle speed

Silversurfer · 08-08-2005, 05:52 PM

HI thanks for all your help with fitting the new jets on my xr2 they are now installed and working well. The tick over on the engine out of gear is nearly 2k though is there a simple adjustment for the tick over that I can do that does not involve rebalancing the carbs? If so could someone point me in the right direction please? Photos are good (sorry) just don’t want to F*ck this engine up!

I always thought the main method to adjust idle was the screw on the throttle arm?

Or im sure you can screw the cable in or out to adjust the throttle slightly? Are you sure your foot throttle isnt sticking a bit?

Ok there is no adjustment on the throttle arm as its at idle and the carbs are fully closed does this mean that i have to adjust the idle mixture on each of the carbs and if so would this be a job for a specialist?

Stu you never let it idle out of gear anyway does it really matter?
Are you taking the p20 out at the weekend?
You get my msn message?
