She dies when I open the choke!

[Sascha]

Every time I take the choke off she dies... Air screw set to 1 1/4 and I can't get her to idle without a Bit of throttle... Any takers?!?!

Turn "IN" the Slide Screw. ......................lm

Yeah that slide screw. You know, would it be better to open the throttle a little before turning that screw? Seeings how it works on the inclined plaine there and all; wouldn't it make for less wear and tear on that connection? Probably insignificant considering the frequincy and amount of pressure.

You're correct at the end. ...........lm

Hey guys,

So I talked to a long time friend of mine and explained the issue ive been having with the carb, let me racap...

- I can only run it with the choke closed
- When I open the choke it dies
- the idle is really high
- When riding it it loses all power when I give it throttle

He is suggesting that its because I am running it without an air filter at the moment... He suggested that I pick up a new filter because I am running way too much air into the carb. Can anyone confirm that this would be a possible problem/fix?

He mentioned that because Im not jetted for no air filter, this would cause the bike to die on me... It seems to make sense because, everytime I adjust the idle screw in, it doesnt make a difference... which would probably be the case without an air filter becuase its getting too much air... Thoguhts!?

Also - Anyone know the size (Diameter) I need or where to get an air filter (K&N) - I would ratehr just use a pod or something...

Thanks!

Assuming you have adjusted the IDLE SPEED screw in and out to see if it works......
And adjusted the IDLE MIX screw out 1 to 1 1/2 turns out.....
My guess is your idle circuit is clogged up.
Take it apart, clean all the passages out with carb cleaner, clean all the jet passages out and it will probably be ok.
The air cleaner (unless its stopped up) or lack of it won't make enough difference at idle to cause your problem.
A stock air cleaner and tube will be best, but you can use one of these:
