today i went to ride my bike around the yard and it kept stalling, so i took the carb apart and found it was jet that was clogged so i sprayed some carb cleaner in it and cleared it. i put everything back together and fired it up and it started. except instead of idleing at the normal 1600 rpms, it idles at 6000rpms. i tried to adjust the idle, and nothing affected the rpms. what are some leads, i know to check the cables and etc.
the throttle cable is pinched...... keeping the carb open
it's not the cable, he has checked the cable and its working fine, and it's not held open, it's closed when its supose to be, so it's not the throttle
Only time I had that happen it was just what bluesman said the throttle was adjusted to tight. If it's not that then I can't imagine what it could be. I know you say you checked the throttle but have you tried backing it off a few turns. It's not always something that can be seen with the eyes, doesn't take much.
tonight i cant do much since the neighbors dont appreciate my bike, let alone it idleing 6000 rpms while i mess around with cables, and etc.
bluesman i got the pm, i will call you tommorow if i cant figure it out.
Most likely i will go over atvtrailers place tommorow if hes not doing anything and see whats going on.
Thanks hollywood, i will keep you up to date on what i try, and narrow it down some more.
6000rpms is crazy... Check your CDI. (unplug then plug)
its not my carb i took it apart and took checked all my cables,choke, jets and float, needle, etc!!! its got to be the cdi!! now i have to test it and dont know where to do that, or know anyone with a z400, kfx, or dvx.
DONT DO ANYTHING TO YOU CALL ME AFTER 5:30 TONIGHT
JUST RELAX
the plug is black meaning its burning rich. ??? my guess still is the cdi.
get with bluesman, or call us at the shop.
There is no way to my knowledge that a CDI could ever cause that problem.
Did you check your Choke lever?
the choke lever is fine, when i turn it on the rpms increase, and off they decrease, i aggree now that its not the cdi.
JUST RELAX MAN....... 8)
fixed it, thanks for all your help!
The cable was too short, and couldnt lengthen it any longer, so me and atvtrailer rigged something up (thanks to Mr. JB Weld).
