So I got the bike to fire up for the first time in ages. I've redone the carb and whatnot but when I fired it up it went to 7000 rpm instantly at idle. The moment I read the gauge it began to climb till it hit 9500 and I shut it down. It was still climbing! I didn't even have time to turn my choke off. I haven't hooked up an airbox yet either but I can't help but find a idle speed over 9k to be mildly disconcerting. Any thought? My screws are 3.5 turns out and all that good stuff. My jets are clean and my seals are sealed. So much for the usual remedies.perhaps my throttle is whacked? The bike was dumped by the previous owner and idk if its ever run before today and since the dumping. I know it was dumped cause he broke the brake off mauled the kill switch removed the mirror caliper cable etc. Could this bugger my throttle? Is the enrichment device aka choke able to make that much of a difference?
