Starter Plunger Cable Problems

This is really not that complicated a mechanism....the throttle, that is.
Like I was trying to tell you before, you should NOT be screwing with the idle adjustment screw; doing so is just complicating matters.
If everything is working right, the throttle return spring should close the throttle against the adjustment stop whenever you release the throttle. Even if that doesn't happen, you should be able to twist the throtte in the closed direction and MAKE it slow down. If that doesn't happen, then you have a problem with the throttle cables, spring or sticking parts on the carb.

In any case, nothing you do with the clutch lever should have any effect on the idle speed.......unless you are mechanically moving the choke lever or cable at the same time.

And yes, I agree with you that you need some experienced help. Either you don't fully understand what is going on or you are just having trouble explaining it. Either way, I don't think forum messages are going to help much.

Easy i figured it all out. The throttle cables needed a heavy lubing.

My neglect sprung other problems and are now fixed.

maybe its time i referred to the manuals maintenance chart a little more often.....


Thanks again
