Hi,
I'm trying to get my '76 R60/6 to idle. The last few times I've fired it up, it will run rough with the choke on and smoke a bit more out of the right pipe. After it warmed up, the idle was around 500rpm. I tried turning the stop screw to the right, but it just got worse and now it is to the point where it won't stay running at all.
I know that the idle mixture screw should be set to 1 turn from my searches here. The carbs were rebuilt by Bing about a year ago. The whole thing started when I had to replace the points and reset the timing. The timing was set about a week ago and it ran quite well then and idled at about 800ish when relatively cool and up around 1000 when fully warmed up.
My question is where should I start with the throttle stop screw so I can get the bike to idle at all, let alone make the necessary tweaks?
thanks in advance!
John
