Just got it firing!
This shouldn't even be a question, but it's got me baffled. 1975 (presumably) bone stock 850T. VHB30 Del'lorto carburetors with Tommaselli Daytona 2C throttle. I have the throttle and carburetors adjusted for maximum cable slack. I also have idle adjustment screws adjusted all the way out so they're not serving any real purpose. Regardless, the bike idles between 1800 and 2000 RPM. Experience tells me it shouldn't idle at all. Worst is when I turn the bars all the way to the right and the idle increases.
What have I done? I've replaced the cables. I've rerouted them a thousand (or so) different ways. I safety wired the cable ends to the respective receptacles so there could be no movement of the cable housing relative to the throttle or carbs (like I would on a race bike). All to no avail.
What the hell am I missing? I've exhausted, to the best of my knowledge, all possibilities. The cables used are from MG Cycle and listed for my application. Is there something strange about my bike that dictates longer inner cables? Any and all advice appreciated. Thanks.
