[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 8518, member: 98"] this is pretty typical on 1000 wings the carbs dont like to sit ....todays gas sucks compaired to what they are design for..... frist thing id do is is put some ATF in the gas about 1oz per gallon or more this is alight dose .....crank it up you dont have to ride it ....pull the choke out just far enough to keep it from stalling this moves the thottle on all the carbs without realy choking it the 1000 have a choke only on number 3 carb but dose not come into play until it pulled allthe way out or almost all the way out ....you can probably get it to run at 2000rpm without pulling the choke very far sit with it while its running to make sure it dosent run to hot and cycle the fan ....or unplug it from the thermo switch and power it to run all the time making sure it running in thr right direction pulling air though the rsdiator....it will diffenutly run cool then ....or sit with it and watch the guage 79 have geat guage set up dont they.... while its running run the idle air mix screw in all the way in and back out 1 1/2 turn do this on all carbs ....let it run ....watch the guage .....ease the choke back in all the way see if its idleing better if it is pull the choke a little not much not as much as before ......watch the guage ....let it run .....push the choke all the way in by this time the guage sould be half way or better to 3/4 or so ....at this point giveit some thottle see how it rev... im betting it going to be a whole lot better....oh and like dan said this gose all the way back to the begining take the gas cap off ....so its not a factor.....watch it close and dont let it get hot at all if it gose though all this and seemsto run better you probably wont have to do anything to it .....take a small trip gas cap off nice easy little ride dont even turn it off before you go if it seems better your in good shape and not much to worry about ....... you need to use ATF as a gas mix all the time .....you did check the gas tank out didnt you and drained it didnt you....and new filter to or im remembering wrong if not this needs to be done......
