oh damn....that must have been irritating :/

GOOD NEWS!!! She starts and runs perfectly... Come to find out, my idle screw decided to play a prank on me and turn its self

How do i figure this?

-because of my continual attempts to start her, i flooded the motor.

-after doing the full throttle, then crank the motor...then full choke, no throttle and crank the motor (to de-flood the motor) she ran with the choke all the way up and idled rather low

-so, i adjust the idle screw and lower the choke until it idled at 1.5k

-let her idle for a few mins, while i put the seat back on, and side covers back on then take her for a few laps around my parking structure and re-adjust the idle to 1.5k

-because i have shogun frame sliders, the idle screw does touch the bar a little bit

-i concluded because of the vibrations from the bike, it managed to move enough to give me a temp. headache


Alex: if you feel this may be a good troubleshooting guide, please add to the wikki along with the other starting problem thread. thanks
