[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 137813, member: 98"] I got the new top and all back on hooch ... To review I have never used this top before. It has aggressive inside the airbox venting over the 32-32 top i have been using ... I learned something today that was huge to me ... If you want to dial in the idle circuit on my modded carb ... do it on a cold day when icing is more likely ...like it is here today ....if you can get the idle and off idle working good on a day of the worst conditions you have got it dialed in ...I spent a good bit of time dealing with it and slowly going from a too rich deal to dialed in just right with good off idle response .... I just came back in from a second run ... my thought was that after the first run ..the bike will cool down again ...I gave it an hr I'd say ...it should start up and with a bit of throttle lock on it at about 1500 rpm for a minute or 2 it should go on its own ....to my surprise it did this very well ....seems to me the richer the charge the worse the icing is ....on a weber idle and just off idle is all handled by the idle gas jet and also what the accelerator pump contributes to maybe in off idle twists.... with the fixed air in idle circuit as in idle gas jet ..it is in the secondary barrel hole above choke plates if you had them in and also on mine in the hole i put in the throttle plate pretty much sets idle speed at 1000-1100 rpm ... with throttle plate completely closed .....so I don't use the idle speed control screw on the linkage in this dial in like weber does ....but do use the mix screw ..like an adjustable jet to get the perfect charge setting .... I am very pleased how it went today on the hooch bike idle dial in :thanks: [/QUOTE]
