Idol speeds
What is the idol speed suppost to be? I have noticed that after replacing some things and a tune up my idol is higher than what it used to be.

RE: Idol speeds
What did you do during the "tune-up?" Adjust any screws (carbs?) Adjust any throttle linkage?

RE: Idol speeds
Changed the oil, plugs, air filter, fuel filter, adjusted the clutch, had the valves adjusted. Think that was it.

RE: Idol speeds
If you adjusted the valves, it's also a good idea to synchronize your carburetors.
