XS650 Junkie
1976 XS650 with open exhaust and intakes. I have rebuilt the Carbs twice and they are in mint condition. I have use the manometer and the Carbs are almost dead level. I took the manometer off and am trying to use the dead cylinder method but I must be missing something. I pulled oneof the plug wires and took an extra spark plug and hooked it up to the spark plug cable, leaving the dead plug in the cylinder. I was able to dial the throttle stop screw to idle around 500 rpm. But when I adjust the fuel mix screw I don't get any rpm change. Even if I go 1/2 a turn in either direction. Same problem on the other carb except in orderto get it toidle at 700 rpm the idle stop had to be turned all the way in. What am I missing? Is there another way todo this?
