Alex Dark Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Just dragged my mini moto out of the garage..cleaned the carb and stripped it down. Now when it starts its stuck on full revs, nearly got away from me just now Anyoner got any ideas how to cure this? The slider for the throttle in the Carb seems to be free, and the idling screw is right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casualjoe Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Could be the carb cleaner burning out, give it another start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Tried it 3 times since...still running at full bore. Little scary when it actually jumps away from you . Forgot to mention I did use some easy start first time to get it started, but surely it should have burned out since then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Screwing in the idle screw increases the idle doood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_malcolm Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Screwing in the idle screw increases the idle doood +1 on this being the problem, Had this on the bandit one day some one twisted it and i was like WTF for ages before i realised it was that simple.

CurtisRider Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 The needle on my mini moto has 4 possible positions for the needle via a circlip, so its possible you have moved the position of the circlip and the needle is too high?

Muel Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 That would just make the mixture richer, it wouldn't change the tickover. (Much). If you've screwed the tickover screw right the way in, it's holding the slide further up than it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeanuckleJive Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Did you pull the throttle cable tight before you tightened it all up? Could be that you've put it back together in such a way that the carb is open by default Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben H! Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 It'll be down to the throttle cable, Have a fidle about with it while it's running, Should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from he's already said the tickover is set as high as it will go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
