cant get my idle to turn down on RM 250??

[mthalt10]

i just rebuilt my 02 RM 250 went to fire it up and the thing is screaming out of control...i have tried to mess with the idle and no matter which way i turn it, it will not go down..it basically sounds like i am holding the thing WFO..lol..i have a 48 pilot jet and a 170main jet, also has FMF pipe and silencer..stock setting from my manual says 45pilot, and 170 main, should i try moving up on my pilot jet? or what could be the problem here?

Sounds like something is pulling on the throttle cable. Have you verified the throttle operates properly without the engine running?

 

[mthalt10]

yes it snaps back jus fine..the only thing is there really isnt any play in the throttle tube..i am wondering if it is pinched somewhere.. i have tried adjusting it but it has not made a difference

Sounds like the slide is hanging up in the carb.

The cable might be hung up on the edge where it goes into the top of the carb.

Bingo…or the cable is not seated in the slide notch all the way.

well you guys were right it was the cable..it wasn't letting the slide go down all the way..got it runin like a dream now...Finally..thanx guys
