The idle on my wifes Scrambler 500 is way high so much that it moves pretty fast when it should be idling. I have looked at the carb (without taking anything apart)and can't see any accessible adjustment screws. Am I missing something or do I have to take apart something???

Thanks in advance!

YES YOU ARE MISSING SOMETHING.............................THERE SHOULD BE AN IDLE SCREW........THE IDLE SCREW I BELIEVE HAS A BLACK **** ON IT FOR EASY TURNING....................

TURN IN...............HIGHER IDLE

TURN OUT...............LOWER IDLE........................

 

I JUST LOOKED AT MY 06 SCRAMBLER.........................

ADJUSTING IDLE SCREW IS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF ATV.....................

JUST ABOVE THE OIL FILTER AND ALSO JUST ABOVE THE CLUTCH HOUSING COVER....................................IT HAS BIG SCREW HEAD ON IT FOR EASY TURNING........................IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HEAD SCREW THERES A STAR FOR USING A PHILLIPS SCREW DRIVER.

 

Thanks a ton. I saw that before but was wondering what it was as it has some kind of black hose loooking thing attached to it. I will go out and play with it.

 

that is correct...............................10/4...................................
