I have been running in my rebuilt top end. Intermittent refusing to die off when I come off the throttle - bike keeps revving until I either turn down the idle screw or (if I am in gear) until I pull in the clutch and release to bite the clutch again. And there is popping as I come off, too.
Is this a clutch adjustment issue or a carbs issue.
What I have done
New clutch recently, followed by going in again a couple of weeks ago to check shifter-shaft and star wheel selector action (clutch had to come out, of course).
Today I lubricated the throttle twist mechanism on the handlebars and made sure the throttle cable was working properly (it is).
Took off pods and felt for the operation of the float chambers. The right hand side was operating quicker than the left - so I dismantled the carbs, thorough clean and reset floats (they were out and unevenly adjusted) to 25.5 mm.
Result on tonight's test ride - popping gone, but still some intermittent racing when coming off the throttle.
Hmmm! could it be a failed diaphragm? or must I go back to check the clutch adjustment?
