Idle problem.
10/09/11 at 13:36:59

I tried the tev mod to cut down on backfires and it sort of worked, except when I let the throttle off the idle would stumble way down and sometimes stall.
So I bought a new spring, installed it and I still have the same problem.
I checked that I hadn't damaged the diaphragm by filling it full of carb cleaner and seeing if it leaked. It didn't. The vacuum passage to the throat is clear. I sprayed carb cleaner in it while the bike was running and the motor would stumble. The little hole in the cap is clean. I can push a light gauge wire through it.
Where else do I look?

The slide,,Am I right thinking the problem is the slide dropping & falling past where it needs to be,, like maybe some vacuum needs to be maintained up there,, You just letting go of the gas or are you closing it?

bleed holes tend to make the pilot richer.
How many turns out are you?

I'd put a fresh plug in run on idle only for a few minutes then pull it out and check.

You might try readjusting the idle mixture with a higher rpm setting.
and if that didn't work, try with a lower rpm setting.
there seems to be some leeway in how it's done as a number of people have the problem and most don't.

What strange things you say/type/write/espouse. The TEV has little to do with idling, unless it is broken. It is there to richen the mixture during high rpm/closed throttle operation.

"And so the engine doesn't kill" What would the engine kill?

2 turns out.
I tried adjusting idle at 1500 rpm, and at 1200 rpm-no diff.

Reply #12 - 10/09/11 at 17:22:27 You gotta uncommon carb exhaust setup and I don't know where to go from here. You have to get your a/f mixture checked at all rpm's. The only way I know is to get it dyno'd. Or buy a a/f meter for it.

It was fine before I took the tev apart. I run it almost every day.
I never did find those spider legs though. Grin
