Default RE: Problem with throttle control on my Mayhem RTR...

It didnt idle high (i dont think so). At least, the clutch did not engage. Its just when I applied throttle (from radio) it went from idle to FULL OUT--with no middle throttle at all. That problem I have figured out.



I have noticed one weird thing about my idle--and I've been fiddling with it a bit. It seems that when the engine is cold, and I start, idle is good.

But, after I run it a few minutes, and the engine warms up, I bring it to a stop (usually to check the temp cause I am paranoid), THATS when the idle seems too high, sometimes engaging the clutch and rolling forward slowly. If I kill the engine, wait a bit, and restart, idle goes back to normal. Also, when I read the temperature, it wasnt too high--maybe around 200 deg F.

I am not at home so I cant check that carb gap till later...
