srx600 over running on revs

(1/2) > >>

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

Martin

beeman:
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.

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

beeman:
Thanks steveH I forgot that was also a fault.

Moral of the tale never buy a bike off boyd!

martin:
checked carbs and choke, cant see anything, now i cant get her to work at all (in pools of sweat and blood!!) pulling my hair out!
