In my previous post I stated how my Savy RTR was idling too high...
I got some good advice on checking my needles an what not. I got another tank through the truck this evening, tank number five, and she's really starting to come around. I can pull small wheelies in the grass and she's shifting into second gear too.... :w00t:
BUT....
I still can't get the idle to come down. When I stop the truck you can tell the idle is just high enough for the clutch to get the "grabbies" and if I pick the truck up off the ground the wheels start to spin madly... :help:
I tried playing with the idle a bit more and the low speed needle some and it didn't help. It even seems to be worse now, hauling around the yard without me even touching the throttle. :shrug:
I'm thinking an air leak, even though it's got just five tanks through it. I pulled the carb and found a hairline crack between the upper and lower O-rings. I applied some high temp RTV and I'm letting it set for the night. I really don't want to mess with the back plate unless I have to. I also checked the fuel lines and tank, they seem to be fine.
I'll know more in the AM when I fire it up again, but anyone have any thoughts on this idle speed problem?
Thanks in advance!
