Sorry to ask this on a 4x4 board, but I am having some wierd problems with my 1971 Honda monkey. What’s happening is when I start the bike it is revving engine like some one is giving it full throttle, it will run like this for a few minutes till it seams to flood it self out and eventually die. If I pull on the throttle it will make the idle go down and actually idle correctly when it at full throttle. :confused: The throttle cable is hooked up right, this is just confusing the hell out of me.

Thanks in advanced,
Brian

The return spring is in the carb and hooked up. i am not sure about the hand throtle. when i twist it pulls on the cable going into the carb. like it would be pulling against the return spring, so i dont know.

update:

i was just uut monkeying around with the monkey :rofl: and i was trying to adjust the carb a lil to see if i can get it to run any smoother and i adjusted the air screw all the way in and it is running awsome it wont kill its self out now. so does this mean its time to rebuild the carb?
