1997 bagger efi idle too low
This bike idles cold at 1000-1100 according to the gauge. When it has warmed up it generally drops to 500-600, which is a nice range. But further into the day, it begins to idle lower at around 400 and feels like it is going to stall at the stop sign, but it doesn't, just feels like it. However, when it idles this low, the oil light begins to flicker, now it will idle down just a little bit more to the point where the oil light stays on. If I tap the throttle a hair, more oil volume is pumped and the light goes out. I've adjusted my idle screw and it seems to keep slipping to a low, low idle. IS my idle screw slipping? Is there another adjustment I need to make like in the throttle cable system?
Thanks in advance
