Hi everyone,
I've had a search but can't find an answer.
Ive started my bike after five months being away. Before doing so I cleaned the carb and changed the needle by one notch so it would run leaner (a very sooty plug made me think it was rich - am I wrong?) after starting it revved uncontrollably. Idle screw had no effect and only way to stop it was turning off the fuel.
Before I change the needle back and try again, potentially causing some damage, am I missing something?
Cheers, Adam.
