Carb adjustment lost
My Xt 600 2001 4PT Started running rough over half throttle . The sparkplug nose was white so I took the carbs off today and found some crap in the primary carb main jet, and the float height high by 3mm.
I blew the carb and jets out as there was some fine dirt in there and reset the float height. Then when I tried to set the secondary carb's butterfly to 7mm open at idle , there's only enough adjustment to open it 2mm before the adjusting screw bottoms out. Its std length. Theres quite a gap between the spherical bearing on no1 carb arm and no2 carb linkage. The linkages look ok. How do I get my adjustment back ?? I thought about a longer adjuster screw but its some weird very fine thread . Any suggestions welcome . |
Its the primary carb you set to 7mm, then you adjust sec valve just to open.

Something is bent on your linkage . The flat area that the roller runs on should be hitting about 1/3 throttle already and the screw should have plenty of adjustment.

Thanks. I misread the manual. I was setting the carbs the wrong way round !! Duh.
