Carb Getting Dirty?

dwh367 · 06-26-2012, 07:38 AM

When I come to a dead stop, the engine stays at an elevated rpm and after several seconds it finally settles down to a normal idle. Also used to get it to start without the choke in 90+ plus weather. Now I have to choke it a little and let it warm up for a bit. Anyone else ever experienced this? I'm am not mechanically inclined but I was thinking maybe the carb needs cleaned? It runs just fine when I'm riding down the road. It's a 2009 model with 9,300 miles on the clock.
