#103401 midnightrider100 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 9 throttle adjustment screw 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago   It seem like my throttle adjustment screw has vibrated a little out of place and i can't seem to get it right I do not have a tach what would be the proper adjustment is the rule of thumb like so many turns out by vibration or does it really matter just do what feels right . I have a 2007 silverado midnight with 1300 miles any help would be great. Also should i wait till it's good any warm before any adjustment   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #103424 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 11027 Re:throttle adjustment screw 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago   midnightrider100 wrote: I just do what feels right .

Platinum Boarder Posts: 3149 Re:throttle adjustment screw 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I'm like Doc I don't set mine at 900. I have mine set around 800 rpm the service manual says 750 - 900 rpm. Yes you need to have the bike at full operating temp before setting it. If you don't have a tach it may take a few tries to get it where you want it and it performs well. Just use your ears and good judgement. These bikes idle a little higher than a HD so don't compare them to yours.   Logged     Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #103435 cass (User) If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Senior Boarder Posts: 285 Re:throttle adjustment screw 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I got mine back after getting service done, and it sounded like it was running away when i was sitting idle at a light. I reached over and turned it down and its better now. I find mine is a little stiff or tight to adjust but figured it was just the way it was. I just make sure i pull out the enricher/choke when its cold.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #103436 Musky (Moderator) Doc took Grams beer Moderator Posts: 13485 Re:throttle adjustment screw 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Are you talking about the idle adjuster below the airbox? First I ever heard about that being able to turn on it's own. Usually people ask why it turns so hard   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
