I'm running a stock 86 carb with the 155 jet. There is only one way to install the clip so I know I didn't screw that up. I also recently installed a HD Dyna muffler and made no modification to the white spacer. The fuel lineis new. I will check the vacuum line tonight to see if it is damaged.

I don't think an 86 has the white spacer. I could be wrong Grin

With multiple grooves on the needle, it's not needed. I think the white spacer was added later to lean out the carb for those EPA folks. It also prevents the user from richening their carb.

What a wonderful day at work Wink

I think everyone is focused on the carb- which is reasonable. As a question, if the clutch load/no load IS the determining factor, would engine compression be an issue? If not under load, the engine should increase in revs..but if the compression wasn't right, wouldn't it fail to suck gas throught the carb? As a 61 year old newbie to mechanics, it is so daarrn confusing. Angry

It seems like the higher the RPMs i'm at when I pull the clutch lever the lower they drop before returning to a proper idle.

I noticed that when I would adjust it the idle speed barely changed no matter how far in or out (unless it was all the way in, then it died). The oring is fine, just replaced actually.

Posts: 241 Gender:	Re: Off-throttle to idle issue Reply #23 - 11/01/07 at 16:34:50 Ok, well I took the advice of the forum, and went outsideto adjust the pilot screw in a little to lean out the idle and guess what, IT WORK! Preliminary tests show that my idle returns to where it should (pretty close at least). I'll see how it does on the highway ride home from work. Thanks for the help!

Oh, good. I guess I somehow missed the fact that you had adjusted the pilot screw...glad things seem to be fixed! Enjoy! Grin

I'm idling at about 600!! From what I get Idle should be about 1200 as to get anough oil pressure to get oil to the cam. Most other stuff runs on roller or needlebearings and can servive on splash-oil
