Looking for some tech advice---
I have been looking through my Clymer and the Honda Service Manuals for advice, but I can't see to find the right carburetor adjustment procedures for these carbs.
I am just getting this bike up and running after 15 yrs. stored with gas. The carbs were completely seized. Below are some before and after pics. I believe I have them pretty clean. I did not purchase any rebuild kits, jets, etc. as I am waiting to finalize exhause before determining what size I need to try.
After cleaning, the bike fired right up. I completely disassembled the stay plate, and needle assemblies. I just visually got them synced the best I could, then got a Motion Pro carb synchronizer, and synched the slides, basically just at idle.
The manuals say to adjust the air/fuel by seating, then one full turn out to start (I could be off on the exact spec, I don't have it up right now) But the only adjustment on each carb is on the last pic below, and from what I can tell, this is the idle air adjustment. I did not remove them when I cleaned as as you can see, then only turn about 300 degrees.
My questions are:
Is this the only adjustment (besides the slides) that I need to adjust, or am I missing something obvious?
Is this air/fuel, or am I correct in saying idle air adjustment?
What is the best adjustment procedure?
Thanks in advance for any help.
