Too Much Carb Cleaner, Idling extremely high!!!

[kwright91]

Okay, I finally got my bike started but i think i used to much carb cleaner to get it started. The carbs are freshly cleaned, synched and all that good stuff. It is idling at 8k. Do I have to just let this burn off or is there another wa?. Im kind of nervous about letting this bike sit there with the engine racing that high. Please Help!!!!

To me it sounds like the throttle cables are binding keeping the throttle butterflies open, the idle speed is set that high or there is an huge air leak somewhere between the carbs, boots and intake manifold.

If it was fuel/carb cleaner related and the butterflies closed properly the engine would suffocate on all that combustible material and stall.

So take the tank and air box off and verify the butterflies are closing completely, the jet needles are firmly in their slides, the slides operate up and down normally, the carbs are fully seated, and that all the vacuum hoses are connected back up correctly (like the ones that connect under the intake boots).

I would try turning the idle down , then bliping the throttle to see if the revs rise and hold again if it does then it usualy is a cable snagged or the push and pull set up needs re adjusted at the carbs thats the two throttle cables one pulls open the other snaps it shut again , Also some soapy water around the inlet rubbers to check for leaks.
