t500 idleing too fast when hot

Post by blue.titon »

this is my first post . i have just restored my 1975 suzuki t500, and it runs fantastic for first few miles but when engine warms up it idles around 3500 revs witch makes it difficult to handle on slow corners. any tips anyone! :

Hi there......

Does letting out the idle adjust screws not help, and can we assume it runs/ticks over all good when cold?

These idle issues are sometimes air leak related.

hi, the idle screws have been ajusted several times, it runs realy well when cold , it just starts revving to about 3500 after about 5-6 miles. but if i pull up it will ease off after about a minute. cheers
