Sky high idle!It should go down a lot more than that....is that bottomed out?
Dream carbs will not allow the slide in at 180 out. Something is keeping it from bottoming out. Are you sure the idle screw (the one towards the rear) is turned out? Needle bent and hitting off center? Jet needle stopped completely up? Cable too tight? 66 dream, 78 cb750k, 02fz1, 09 wing
high idleBrewsky,Dream slides will go in 180 out and will prevent the slide from bottoming it out.
It happened to me. Causes an extremely high idle. Not saying for sure this is the case but should at least be pulled out and checked. Mike Definately not bottomed out! Is there play in the throttle cable? Slide in correctly as the others have suggested?
Looking at the pic again, I don't see the cutout at the bottom of the slide, so I don't think you have it in backwards. Davo davomoto

Re: high idleMike, But the slide slot would be opposite the locating pin.................Oooooooh,......... now I get it! How many beers does it take to do that? JK Bruce 66 dream, 78 cb750k, 02fz1, 09 wing
