Hello everyone, this is my first post. I’ve been riding and working on motorcycles for a long time and now I have my first Goldwing. My sons father in law gave it to him. Been sitting in a garage for 6 years only 19,000 miles. Pulled the carbs, drained the gas, new gas lines, fuel filter, spark plugs, took carbs apart cleaned and new kits, set pilot screws at 1 1/2 turns out and new battery. Fired up after a few cranks, being careful not to fry the starter. Let it warm up took it for a ride a mile or so came back home. At idle it slowly slows down and quits even with the throttle stop screw all the way in. A Haynes manual came with the bike that has been very helpful. Tried to open the pilot screws and quickly figured out that I need to get a 90 degree tool to turn them. It ran good at higher rpm just slows down and dies at idle. Any suggestions while I wait for my tool to arrive?
