Well the ole "smokie" has enough miles on her now to start needing some tinkering. Last two times riding, needed to choke fully to keep her running. When I got her home today, started running in the idle screw, just messing, and it started speeding up real fast. when I took off the choke it died. Ok guys where to start. I am capable just point in correct direction. Thanks lots and will check back real soon. gphil
carb adjustments
- Thread starter gphil
- Start date
Leak was my first thought and going to check that also. The carb is a NT. In the choke position, then running idle screw in and it speeding up sort of indicates a real rich mixture. Keeping in mind that some adjustments are probably in order for the engine is still breaking in. I will be watching for more input. I know not too much in the way of adjustments on this little thing other then moving the slide position . I know 2-door likes these. gphil
Take off the float bowl & look to see if the jet came unscrewed... If it's not that, check to see if the jet is clogged.
Be very careful & try not to tear the gasket.

Ok guy I will do that. Hate to think the carb is messed up with less than thirty miles. Thanks for the guide. gphil
Do most guys change out the jet size on the carb? Mine is stock NT . If they do what would be the recommended new size? Want this thing to purr, not fast needed, etc. Thanks gphil
