I have a 450R carb. on my ex and I have the idling screw turned all the way down to where it isnt even touching the cable mechanism and the idling is still too high, I cant figure this one out-any suggestions-please.......

[drew416ex]

I dunno, maybe it needs a richer pilot jet.

[hondaking52]

i would try to adjust the cable up at the thumb throttle, happend to me before

[honda729]

yea you have to screw the cable out at the thumb and into the carb, just do it with the bike runnin so youll know what to stop

[michaelj]

the cable is actually lose it isnt tight and pulling on the throttle, it isnt the cable I checked it 3 times, this idling happened as soon as I jumped from a 48 pilot to a 50 pilot, I ran it hard yesterday and it had alot of popping on decelaration, it sounded like rich popping, it didnt run well, I am guessing I am to rich with the pilot and that is causing the faster idle-I am at a 50 with 3 1/4 turns out on the air screw

prob air leak, look at your clamps.

[randelator]

yep air leak around the carb for sure!!

[woodsracer144]

there is a leak, it could also be a base gasket... my blaster was like that...

the leaking base doest apply here...... as mentioned, i'd look into a air leak at the carb or something is in a bind and not allowing it to idle.
