The process we used: 1. Set idle to a high idle 1800-2000 range. 2. Turn out on the mixture screws 1/8 turn at a time. 3. If speed increases keep going, 1/8 turns @ a time, and lower the idle when necessary. 4. Blip the throttle looking for immediate revs followed by a smooth return to idle without

Not much, half a turn maybe. Easy to test. My PC800 had a hesitation. We just turned the screws till the hesitation went away. Take for a test ride Sent from my iPad > On Jun 25, 2015, at 00:14, EGrider wrote: > > Well, that sounds like a piece of cake. Remember how much you turned them, by >

Allen, now there's a thought. My guess is that the washer job would the the easiest and fastest because that could just be done from the top with the carbs on the bike. The mixture screws would be next in difficulty if I had to drill out the caps over the mixture screws, but the carbs could stil

Yeah, awful coverage. Their current spin is great data, or some such distraction. Great customer service and cheap though. So, you bought a PC800, after I was looking for one. I am happy you bought that after I purchased the Kawasaki I have now. I would still have to seriously consider it if I w

Glenn, you should play around with the pilot screws and possibly a larger main jet and/or washers on the needles. The one Graham had was very lean from the factory and rode so much better after we dinked with it. On Wed, Jun 24, 2015 at 12:07 PM, surfswab wrote: > Hmm...that's a tempting thought

I could just put new tires on it, change the oil, and head off down the highway. If I were in my 20's again, that's probably what I'd do. Just makes me nervous now though, especially when I think of the awful network coverage of T-Mobile, and I'm also riding solo this time. Bike seems dang comf
