93 GSPD High Idle

The bike has an Alpha ignition system installed, so no mechanical points/advance. Â Going to try and set idle to baseline and try adjusting again.

Success! Â I took idle screw and idle mixture screws all back to zero, then set them to recommended starting points. Â (1 1/2 turns in for idle screws, 1 turn out for idle mixture screw) Â Which gave me a 3k idle speed, clearly too high. Â I then backed the idle screws out evenly bit by bit until I got to ~1200. Â Then screwed in the idle mixture screws until stumble, then back out to clean idle. Â Adjust idle screws, back to idle mixture screws. Â Go for a ride. Â Back to shop, hook up manometer and use idles mixture screws to get both cylinders firing evenly.
Just got back from a good 30 minute ride, and she now reliably returns to proper idle. Â Thanks for everyone's help!
