I just got my new ride successfully pimped back up to status with a new front rim, handlebars, and brake lever after my somewhat painful ditch-induced flip (third lifetime usage of the f-bomb!) when I cam out to ride to have my idle epic fail. It took me a minute to notice with the lack of useful light, but with a little bit of fiddling I noticed my idle adjustment screw - or lack thereof.
Boy do I just loooooooooooove karma!
As a stopgap solution I've been able to keep 'er running by coarsely adjusting idle speed with the throttle cable tension, but the speeds are totally out of wack and a noticeable lack of power makes things all the worse. I can still ride it, but so much for all that fine-tuning work :-/
Therefor my question to the omniscient overlords of Motorbicycling is thus: where on God's green earth do I find a new idle adjustment screw? Its not as though these are unmarked, undocumented foreign Chinese engines or anything...
For now I just might plug the hole with a screw that fits it and adjust with the throttle cable, but understandably I'm a bit bummed for having the thing just fail on me right when I had it perfected.
And with that kind sirs, I make my leave
