I'm trying to figure out whats going on with the idle also for me it's not only in nutural but also from time to time in gear it tends to rev out and take off on it's own.. def carb issue I'm going to be plugging into this project this weekend I'm thinking i'm sucking in air from around the intake - as I just had the carb rebuilt so I can't see it being inside my carb

but yes I to have the heat that I ride with my one leg kinds pointing out and the idle issue... be nice to see someone's feedback on this makes me feel a little better knowing it's happening to you also :P

We had it out after dark and the exhaust definitely isn't glowing red. However, it does stall occasionally at higher rpms like it's running out of gas but starts right back up and runs fine. I took the carburetor apart and cleaned it again and pulled the tank and removed the on/off/reserve valve and gave it a good cleaning but it's still doing it.
