Where do I start.
I got this site thru the help section so there should not be any copy right problems.

Got new spark plugs (HD)
Got new spark plug wires. (HD)
Got new VOES (HD)
Made up 2 Lollipop baffles. (LEFT and RIGHT side)
Jetting not checked as it ran fine b4 I bought it.
Checked for leaks with 10w40 when running ( NO RPM INCREASE)
Replaced a split crankcase breather hose
Took carb apart and blew out all holes with compressed air.
Verified float level heigth is correct
Checked all diaphrams for cracks. (FOUND NONE)
Hooked up a vacuum gauge (NO LEAKS WHEN RUNNING)
Bike runs great once its warmed up. No Black smoke at idle which was my original problem. It still backfire at 1/4 to 1/2 throttle in idle but I think thats normal . I will have to road test it when new clutch cable is installed.
When its cold , I pull the fast idle lever upward and give the throttle 3 quick crank on the throttle. As the bike warms up , engine RPM will slowly go up to 2500 RPM.
At that point I push down the fast idle lever just a bit and the engine starts to sputter and die. If I try to pull lever back up it still dies.
The carb SS E Model is adjusted as per below
1) IDLE mixture screw is now 1 1/2 turns out. SEE Picture 15
2) IDLE speed adjusting screw is now as per next sentence. Turn screw counterclockwise until it no longer contacts throttle linkage spool. Next turn screw clockwise until it just contacts spool. Then turn additional 1/2 turn clockwise to slightly open throttle plate. I have made no further adjustment . See Picture 16.
3) The pump travel adjusting screw is just contacting the pump actuator arm. This limits actuator arm travel and shuts off pump. Pump travel screw regulates volume of fuel delivered by accelerator pump. I have turned screw counter clockwise 1/2 turn to allow accelerator pump to work. See Picture 48
I have read all the sites on the net I could find including the Self help Information And Tips located here.
One site states that when starting the bike cold , pull the fast idle lever up all the way , twist the throttle a few times and when the bike starts , push the fast idle lever back down..
My question is 3 part
1 - Does the fast idle lever stay up during the warmup process or is it pushed down as soon as the bike runs ??
2 - At what point do I adjust the IDLE speed adjusting screw for the correct RPM
3 - Does the IDLE mixture screw have to be re-adjusted whenever the IDLE speed adjusting screw is adjusted
