OK, I finally got the Max running again and he does sound much stronger and powerful than it ever did however I am facing an odd issue that I cannot quite tell what could it be caused by: After the bike warms up, it idles and runs really well but sometimes, the RPM will hover around 2K-3K range even in neutral. Sometimes, it comes down by itself after several seconds, sometimes doesn't. The throttle cable is properly adjusted (it snaps when let go), fully closed, the cable is a tad loose so there is no tension on it when fully closed as it rests on the idle screw which is almost at the bottom.
Choke is fully closed and idle screw is at its usual spot which is pretty close to the bottom. If I lower the screw even further than the idle will drop causing the bike to die. It also makes starting without choke almost impossible.
There is no air leak that I can hear, no smoke. Brand new oil, filter, diaphragms. Carbs recently cleaned, new gaskets, rings, etc. I will be doing the carb sync as it might be slightly off but I know that won't cause my current issue so any ideas? :confused2:
Please let me know if I am missing any info.
Thanks guys! unk:
