On my way home the bike did not go back to 1100 rpm but stayed at about 3 to 4k at a stop light. I checked the throttle and it's connection all work fine. Checked choke operation and it is working. I checked for intake air leak to carbs and checked connections (can not see or hear loose connection or air).



Anything thing like this happen to you?Any ideas of what to try next?

Shep,

I checked the A and B cables with engine off and they work fine, they move and return the round part they connect with very well. I can not find a binding problem. That is why I was looking for air leak (boots). I am not having luck there either. with air leak I should have a start problem which I don't.

First light, I shall 1) do 10 mm A cable nut at the carb; 2) do Shep's air leak boot test; 3) disconnect A/B cables and choke cable and see if it idles.

Will let you know outcome.

Well, the results are in.



Turns out that what was causing the problem was that the throttle was not stopped by the top of the idle adjustment screw put was stuck to the threads of the screw.



It was a slight misalignment (from last remove and cleaning) of the carbs. The chances of this waiting months to get stuck will cause me to buy a lotto ticket.



Thanks for walking me through this strange problem.
