Hi everyone, my bike has been upgraded to the Mikuni VM34 roundslide carbs and ran pretty well - still does - but lately has an annoying habit of dying while idling away at the lights awaiting take off. I can tell the idle of the engine changes in character a few cycles before its about to stall/die and if I give it a blip on the throttle it can be recovered and will run for another 30-40 seconds before the cycle repeats. If it does stall all i need do is press the starter button and of she goes again.
Looking at the right-side carb I can clearly see two brass screws, one spring loaded one more-or-less below the choke, and one non-spring loaded one near the air cleaner.
Looking at the left-side carb, I can see the non-spring loaded brass screw, but the spring loaded one is missing completely?
1. what do these two screws do? What do they adjust?
2. is the LH side one supposed to be missing something?
My bike came with these carbs fitting but no intructions/details on how to tune/adjust them, and to be honest they are pretty well set up at the moment, with nice idle and good response all the way through the rev range...
Thanks in advance,
I.
