My daily driver is a flh with a cv carb. 90k reliable miles.
Today after a 25 mile trip the idle speed had risen to 1500 rpm. Normal it is 1k. I checked that the enricher was off. The two throttle cables had slack at the carb. Sprayed some carb cleaner around the intake and back of carb.(no change).
I readjusted the idle mixture. (screw felt like it may have backed out from normal.. I screwed it in about 4 turns til the bike got rough..). reset the idle speed back down to 1k.
After another 25 mile trip the idle is right back up to 1500 again..
I figure to remove and tear down the carb, after looking again for a vaccum leak..
Any thing else I may be overlooking..or should look for when I get the carb apart..
Thanks.
