Hi folks.I recently got a 98 srx 700 with 12000km on it that I traded a Vmax4 less engine for,I thought I got a good deal.It was in need of a powervalve and cable so I replaced these and also cleaned carbs.Carbs are all set to specs on here for a 98.Everything went great until I fired it up.The idle seems to hang around 3000rpm's sometimes a bit higher after reving it up a bit,then I have to flip choke on and off to get it to come down.It seems if I set idle for @ 1800 it hangs worse than if I set idle down to @1600rpm.The carbs are great and fuel screws are at 1-1/8, freeplay on throttle is good.I did a search on here and found some interesting stuff.It looks like some others have had this same issue,but no real reasons why this is happening.Should I be looking at replacing crank seals? I've never ridin' this thing before and it may go away after some run time?Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks Steve C
