All,
Just rebuild the VHB30s on my 850T3 and installed them yesterday. Bike fired right up, and as I blipped the throttle to start adjusting the idle screws the idle climbed to 4000 rpm. Thinking that I had just screwed the adjusters in too far, I shut the bike down and backed the screws out a bit. Restarted - same issue.
Ultimately believe this is symptomatic of a vacuum leak. The carbs were exceedingly difficult to remove and mount (bike has the cast metal intake manifolds and the VHBs have those plastic insulators on them). So my first thing will be to replace the insulators; as I did not remove the intake manifolds, etc. Anyone have a good source for these?
Any other thoughts? Could a poor float height be to blame as well?
Thanks!
Steve
