hey y’all!
i have a ‘75 xs650 that runs perfectly but won’t idle no matter how tight the idle screws are set in, unless choke is on. carbs are rebuilt and synced and points have just been adjusted properly. i cannot understate how perfectly the bike rides, but as soon as i release the accelerator it can’t hold idle and dies quickly.
also, this appears to turn off and on randomly - it’ll idle and run fine and then randomly will go back to not holding any idle but still running fine when in gear. any ideas?
