idle

Hey friends! I have a 1979 Honda ct70 that runs and rides perfectly fine, but the idle fluctuates and will stall out unless I give it a little throttle. I have already addressed the intake leak at the manifold and the problem still prevails. No matter how I fine tune and adjust the idle screw...

I have been trying to get a 1978 CT70 running and have had little success. Last summer the bike would run but only on full choke. So, over the winter I took the carb apart to clean it and replace gaskets that I am sure have not been replaced in a long time...I reinstalled the carb and tried to...

This one has me stumped. I bought a bike in a box which needed a new top end. Put that on with a stock Keihin carb, and it runs decent, but the sucker will not hold idle.

I put the carb needle all the way to the top and it made no difference. I did install an aftermarket throttle cable? Also it is...

1972 k1 full restoration just finished! Starts and runs but throttle and idle have a mind of their own. I soaked and rebuilt the carb for the second time and still cannot adjust it to settle down to an idle. Today it ran almost wide open until I turned the airscrew completely closed. Any and all...

I bought a z50 today just for kicks. I think it is a '76. The guy who sold it to me told me he replaced the piston and the rings. He may have mentioned something about the points as well. I cleaned the carb out when i got it home, it runs, but it still has a few problems. -It hardly...
