srx600 over running on revs

[martin]

Hi there everybody. i have just becoe a member of the thumper riders club with a purchase of an '86 srx 600.  have done allthe servicing on her, but the one thing im finding is that sometime wheni come to a stop the revs stay high ( about 2-2.5k) before slowly going down to the idle speed.  does anybody know why this is and if so what i can do about it!

many thanks in advance

Well I'd try the carbs first, check cables are not fouling under the tank etc, espeacally the choke cable and also check the choke mechanism, I had a lot of problems wtih this, traced to sticking/not seating chokeand the cv carb not always returning . good luck.

Leaking inlet manifolds are another possibility, although this would probabaly also cause a rough tickover.

Thanks steveH I forgot that was also a fault.

Moral of the tale never buy a bike off boyd!

I could take offence, but I've spent the money.

Martin have you solved the problem and got it running.

Where abouts are you if you need a hand,I'm in the south yorks area if it helps you.

still having fun solving the prob! have swapped pipe for coasting enricher - which has helped a bit - but it is still running high revs when it warms up.  idle is set correctly, but still idles high when at working temp. After inspection of the cv carb slide ther is evidence of wear on one side, so i might replace it, see if that works.

still have suspicions its something to do with coasting enricher tho
