Cranks but dies when you pull the throttle - Page 2

Mangle,

Sounds to me like you got it. Good work. Once you get a full tank of gas through it you should notice better idling, better power and better acceleration. I have not found that the carb cleaner is needed as long as you don't let the bike sit for more than a couple weeks. Glad you are out riding instead of effing with it in the garage. Once it gets settled in, locate the idle adjustment. It tends to idle best at a bit north of 1000rpm, depending on the age and condition of the bike. Only mess with it if you find it "racing" after the bike is warmed up. Keep using the choke to start it, but don't leave it on once it's warmed up. Warmup time will vary with the weather etc. but is rarely more than seven or eight minutes.

Suzuki recommend 1200-1400RPM, when the bike is good n' hot. You can use this as a starting point to set it to what suits you best. :2tup:
