    Irregular idle revisited.

    I replaced my enrichner cable about 2-3 months ago and had an irregular rough idle once the bike got up to temp since then. Had all 3 seals replaced problem still there.


    So I got sick and tired of screwing around with my carb as I wasn't eliminating the problem and swallowed some pride. Had a tech check it out this morning and he replaced my vacum hose that was cracked and plugged it better with a little ball, replaced my 45 pilot with a 42 and turned out the AF screw 3 turns. My plugs were shot to shit black too. He told me to get rid of the paper filter and get a K&N which he said could have been helping the problem.

    As I left the issue was pretty much still there in stop and go traffic but the more I rode today the problem went away. So we'll see how things are when I start out on a cold motor tomorrow.

    Idle is normal.

    Ever since I put my K&N air filter with SE support back on a few days ago my idle is normal.
