Shame on me ! Last night i felt bored at home when i decided to take care of my motorcycle. After two hours of polishing and cleaning up her, i kept playing with the carb...... (brilliant idea) untill i screwed up everything.

The bike (80" inches stock engine, oem quiet exhaust baffles) now won't start.....

Reading here and there i've found the stock set up.

A. Idle Mixture Screw, 1 1/4 turns from lightly seated

B. Idle Speed Screw, ½ turn clockwise from engagement point

C. Accelerator Adjustment Screw, 2 turns counterclockwise from seated


Should all these three screws be seated (clockwise) and then from that point i follow the intructions as escribed above ?

What is the engagement point B ?

 

Yes, lightly seat them then follow the instructions. The engagement point is where the idle adjustment screw just touches. This is just a good starting point and each adjustment has to then be fine tuned.

 

This may sound like a stupid question but did you turn the fuel on?
Have you looked in the carb while twisting the throttle to make sure you are getting fuel?

I only ask because I may or may not have done something similar in the past!!

 

Not sure if you have this already, but I'll post it anyway. Duh you already have steps A B C.
Did you pull your fuel line off and see if fuel is going to the carb?
