Throttle Roll Off Tiger 900 Carbed.

Hi All,


Firstly; many thanks for the help with my first post regarding my carb issues. It proved invaluable.

So we move on to reassembly which all went as well it can, given its a b.....d to get the carbs back on with the cold hard rubbers and no clearance etc.

Fired her up but now I have a very slow roll off on the throttle. I,ve put a little light oil down the cable from the top end and hope it works its way down. I didnt think to pull it out and do it whilst torn apart because I didnt have the issue before. Theres a video attached with any luck.

Two potential contributing factors are
a) I may not have adjusted the nut at the bottom of the throttle cable to the same position, but am pretty sure it isnt holding the carbs open at rest.

b) I've fiddled with the idle adjust knob so much - who knows where its set at, but this shouldnt effect the slow roll down

thanks

Steve

I'll take a look, but I didnt move it much when I took the carbs off. It felt ok when I lubed it from the top end - pulling the cable up and down to get the oil through.

 

the cable seems to pull down freely, I'm wondering if it might be carb slides?

 

Thanks for all the above. It'll be Christmas eve before I get a chance to look at it now. If you own one of these you'll know how tight it all is in there. Wasnt an issue before and I haven't moved the throttle cable at all other than to disconnect from the carb. It could be a seal issue. Not adjusted mix at all on the carbs. Fine before, just emptied the water out and blew them through with carb cleaner. I'll pull the tank off and run it on an auxiliary one so I can see stuff. Cheers.
