Hello everyone first off i would like to start by saying sorry for the bad punctuation and spelling ahead of time. I recently got a heck of a deal on a 1985 venture royal with only 27000 miles on it from the second owner. It cosmetically is in great shape and could tell that it had been garage kept only downfall to the bike in general is that he let it sit for a year and the carbs needed cleaning, so having a pretty decent back ground with passenger vehicles i decided to purchase and tackle the carbs myself. I thought how hard could it be. Well 2 weeks later i got the bike all back together and running pretty good (now that i have read thru some post on this site I have realized that I have cut a lot of corners). Well being the wheeler and dealer that I am as I was scrolling thru craigslist i stumbled upon another venture royal same year same color but did not run but had a few extras that my bike did not have like aftermarket tailpipes,highway pegs and a crystal clear windshield,but did not run and was missing rear wheel and tire. So i figured for 100.00 it was well worth it and bought it with intentions of taking off the extras and putting them on mine and stripping the rest out and saving just encase. Well i put the exhaust and took it for a ride the other night and once it warmed up it idled really high. i have tried to twist idle screw back to bring it down but it still is not right. I would really appreciate any feed back and i thank you ahead of time for your patience i am new to this and still trying to learn. Oh and by the way i after i cleaned the carbs i did not sink them I am currently in the process of making my own. Sorry for the background story.
