Just wondering when I come to a stop the idle hangs around 3700 for a few seconds. I already adjusted the fuel screw out from stock to 2 turns and it still does it. It was running normal at the start of the season then it all of a sudden started doing this now is there something else I should be looking for.
 
What fuel screw you talkin about man ?

Carefull with the misture screw you could be lean now.
 
you have enough throttle free play?? when you went from 1 7/8(stock)to
2 turns out did it change/help anything at all???
 
does the idle come down when you flip the choke (fuel enricher) on ?
if your cable has free play I think you may have to turn them out farther
 
I diden't notice any difference once I adjusted the screws and it does idle down instantly once I pull the choke.
 
check throttle cable, may be too tight. There should be slack on the cable when it is not applied, if its tight then it may be the tors.

Ok your still lean on the ide circut then,try 2 1/4 out. is jetting all stock in that sled???
 
check if your piolet jets are clean before doing any thing else.if it didn't do it before than something has changed to cause it.just turning the fuel screws out more and more is only a band aid fix and will come back to bight you.
 
Usually if pilots are plugged it wont idle with out some choke..do make sure
carbs are clean if it hasn't been done in a wile.
 
I cleaned them at the start of the season but I will check them again. Also everything on the sled is stock don't like playing around had bad luck in the past.
 
Clean the throttle return spring then lube it with wd-40 work it for awhile then use an air gun to blow off the exess lube this worked for me this past year.
