Monster M600 1996 on a Q Plate (brought out the shed after a 5 year sabbatical)
Problem is I can't get it to idle at below what seems to be 2K revs or more, and when revved, revs rise and then return to an idle higher than it was for a time before dropping to original revs.
Stripped and cleaned the carbs, set the float heights to 14mm (were 9mm) ultrasonically cleaned and blew through all the drillings, rebuilt them and have to say it seems better, but cannot get the idle below 2K without it dying.
Done static timing and changed the belts, new plugs, took both HT leads off and cut 1'' off each end and reassembled them
Found that the return throttle cable to be a bit s**t so for the moment that's off, and the remaining throttle cable has been lube'd and moves freely, throttle quadrant has been cleaned up and moves freely and snaps back when released.
Fuel pump (vacuum) stripped and cleaned and reassembled, new vacuum lines to both pump and tap replaced with new.
will get a Colour Tune tomorrow to check the mixture
Right I know I'm going to be told to use the search function, but you see the thing is I have, and found contradictory results. everyone seems to agree that the float height is 14mm, but there is some confusion (maybe its me) as to the pilot screws and whether in is lean out is rich or vise versa and a standard setting (come on its a Monster, NOTHING is standard!)
Thing is its really peeing me off, its not like I don't know what I'm doing, built a ZXR750 Kawasaki France Endurance Racer clone from a box of bits, a ZXR / T595 / GSXR hybrid that started off as someone else's streetfighter. used to live in the middle of nowhere near Aberdeen but now live in a rural village near Great Yarmouth with a Monster with Yoshi straight through silencers (s******). I think I may have upset the neighbours. Eva is now boarding up the doors and the windows
