Jacoolw Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Hi My V5 idle high (maybe at 1/4 power) I checked, the idle screw, it is open, does not touch the "plate". Valve clearances all fine It is not the carb, I replaced the carb with a new one from Bailey, (it also idled high with the old carb) I replaced the oil. What else is there to check?

alan_k Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 If the idle screw isn't touching the plate then it sounds like the throttle cable could be short. Is there any free play in the throttle lever just before the throttle starts to have an effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacoolw Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 No, there is no free play. I think you are right about the cable Will check it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
