Idle not dropping
« on: June 27, 2018, 06:52:50 PM »
Hey all, back at it again. I took my bike out this morning, for the first long ride since the chain broke. What i found was, once the bike was nice and hot, my idle stopped dropping like it should. The throttle was springing back fine, but as soon as i would pull in the clutch, the idle would stay at whatever it was before. say i was in 3rd, going 40 mph, cruising at 3800 rpm. As soon as i would let off the throttle to stop, if i used engine braking, the idle would come down fine. However, if i pulled in the clutch, it would stay at 3800 rpms, until i let the clutch out again. This sounds like just dirty carbs to me. Any thoughts?

Assuming you linkage is ok, then yep, dirty carbs.
How long did you leave that piss water e10 gas in her?

Months?

Tips for new FJ owners:
1) Don’t have an Owners Handbook? You need one: https://tinyurl.com/z4s6x
2) Replace your oem rubber brake lines. Do it now. They are long over due.
3) Safety wire the petcock elbow on the ‘84-‘87 FJ’s. Do it now. https://tinyurl.com/99zp8ufh
4) ATGATT: Skin grafts suck.

About a month and a half. It was premium, with a fair bit of seafoam in it as well.
