Hey guys,

2012 CDI 35. Will C mods on a short block. Mikuni carb. Cam, rods springs etc. high rev coils. The whole shabang. Been running like a top. Changed fluids, and now I’ve got sporadic idle. Checks valve lash, intake was off a bit. Everything set back to .005.

I’ve tinkered with carb. Throttle is lagging, sounds like it’s starving/sucking for air, then it jumps up and runs perfect. Still pushing full 33mph. Let off throttle, idle is high after running WOT then it settles in. 10-15 seconds it will idle up just slightly and fall back.

Can’t figure this one out. I guess it could be a gasket somewhere. Places to start?

Any help is appreciate. Will, if you see this feel free to call :)

Check your intake adapter. The rubber that mounts the carb to the intake can crack over time and cause issues.

Also check where the intake bolts to the egine. Sounds like an intake leak somewhere.

Also check the black vacuum plugs on that carb for cracks

I’ve discovered a gasket tear upon removing the carb. Also realized threads have possibly vibrated a screw out or the threads are stripped. Looks like a rethread is necessary. Yikes.

I agree with these guys. Especially the gaskets between intake and heads
