PuttPutt Posted November 11, 2012 #1 Posted November 11, 2012 1996 Royal Star : Been playing around with pilot screw tuning options. I have a digital induction rpm meter...rpm bounce around but never over 1200 or under 900 rpm when idol set at 1000, or as close as I can figure by ear. I set it but still not happy. Then I got an IR temp gun and with the heat around the motor I never seemed to be getting an accurate temp as it flucated no matter what I measured on..and I ,measured almost everything on bike. So yesterday I took all the pilot screws out and cleaned them up and cut a little deeper grove for the srewdriver. I put them back in, set and left it at that for the evening. I have a brand new Morgan Carbtune for syncing...could I set my idol fuel air mixture with it? Shouldnt the vacuum change as the rpm rise and fall...just a thought.

Tried to watch the up and down on the Carbtune...lol...I guess I need to just find me a GOOD shop tach. I have a hard time hearing the RPM change. My hearing just isnt what it use to be. Well actually I have a hard te setting the idol speed back to "1050" after turning the screw. But no..just to hard to tell via Carbtune.
