Check for air leaks maybe....

when in doubt use the skinny pedal!

No leaks, issue has always been there of running out of adjustment, and have always wanted a little lower idle Just didnt idle quite as high as it does now .

What idle jet are you running and with what motor?

50 idles dont see how that would actually effect my rpms at idle much though.

Note- everything runs great. There are no jetting issues, Simply trying to drop my idle speed down lower.

Do you have any slack in throttle cable?

Yea theres slack. the butterflies/arms cant go any further closed. when u back the idle adjustment screws all the way out, theres still a gap there. But thats all the further things move. Chad said bigger idle jets, I bumped them to 55 and it didnt change anything. I cant see changing them anyway since im runnin on the rich side of things anyways and it runs good. definitly cant see going to 60's on a 1915 to get the idle right? seems crazy and Im just confused as hell by it lol

I am running a 1915 as well with 55 idle jets, 130 mains, 200 air, and F11 emulsion and mine idles great so there my thoughts are that there is something else wrong causing this.

u have single or duals?

130 seems low This is my jetting before the 044 heads i just put on- 50 idles, 150 mains, 200 or 210 i believe. also run f11's Every runs flawless. and its not an extremely high idle, just slightly higher than i want.

Have you checked the air bleed screws to see if they have been messed with? These are the ones with jam nuts on them. They should be bottomed out.

Mind you this is NOT a new issue. Just slightly enhanced with the new parts. im sooo confused

Yep. Turned them in when i put the carbs on last year. I'll double check tomorrow, but not seeing that being the problem. lol

Do your butterflies have holes drilled in them?

nope, and visually cant see any gap around them. To rule out twisted shafts.

if all these things r correct like u say then it shouldnt even idle maybe put corks in the venturies that might bring it down lol

Mine are dual 40's and it runs great.

lol Ill try that tomorrow!! Idk makin no sense. Ima do some double and triple checking on things tomorrow. Ive talked on the phone to numerous people, even went back out to the garage and checked off a list of things while on the phone with kevin. lol everything checks out . Nothing else, it runs great and screams maybe just deal with the slightly high idle. Its not crazy high, just a tad much for my liking. If i find an answer tomorrow ill be sure to let everyone know lol

check if your fuel enrichment pistons are stuck or gone. they are the 2 little holes with brass lock washer looking things holding them in when you have the top off looking at the float bowl.

Well, took a minute away from working on other things to check the air bleed screws, they were screwed in. so check that off for sure.

Your absolutly sure you do not have an air leak? Sprayed evrywhere with ether? Also what is your timing set at?

positive, on air leaks timing is 30-32 due to numbers gone off of my pulley and a mark was made before they were totally gone. I cant be EXACTLY sure.
