XT660Z reving like a loony
Hi guys. Not new to the forum but been away a while and forgot all my log in details so i had to re register.
Got a small problem. was riding back from work yesterday in the rain and my bike started reving up to 4k rpm on its own. managed to make it to the pub and thought i'd worry about it in the morning.
This morning same problem. i rode it for about 15k then pulled over and had a little look. The tick over screw is right out so its not touching. the carb sliders look and sound as if they are hitting the stops when closing. The previous owner has removed the air box and put 2 small filters on the inlets, but this has never been an issue before.
The bike has been sitting for 2 years while i've bee overseas working, i removed the carbs last week, cleaned them, drained the brown petrol from the tank and filled up with fresh. and have since done about 400k.
It also has a pro duro exhaust.
I have to ride back to wales today (about 200k) and although the over reving isn't an issue when going over 40kph it does get a bit annoying at roundabout or traficligt speeds.
Anyone got any ideas please??
Thanks
Paul
