my cold start-up procedure is to use full choke, start up, increase rpm's to 2000, and slowly push in the choke bit by bit until fully in. helps if u have a throttle lock. u only need 2x's over normal idle speed for a warm up, tho i prefer to keep it no higher than 1500 rpm's generally.

The idle screw is in between the 2 carbs. It comes up from the bottom. The plate that the cables are attached to, the idle screw acts as a stop. Twist the throttle and look between the carbs to see what I'm talking about. Tighten the idle screw (clockwise) to raise the idle.
When looking at the screw from the top of the carbs, you'll be looking at the screw while "it's" upside down. So looking at the screw from above you'll turn the screw counter clockwise. If this is to confusing (LOL), just play with the idle screw to get the best idle.

Turn up the idle. NOT the screws on the carbs, but the one on the linkage at the carb.

Next step: BUY A MANUAL! It's only $15.00!!!

Use it's directions for all your adjustments and settings.
Nobody here mentioned synchronizing your carbs, did they?
Don't use directions from here, not even mine.
I would send you my old manual, but I can't find it.
You keep having problems with that bike and they are ALL related to each other.

Clean the plugs. Clean the carbs, set the carbs to factory specs, clean the fuel filter if it has one. Make sure your header is seated to the head ( prssure related stall). Check the choke if it has one. It should idle around 800-1000. 1500 is way too high. Get a manual, and it will give you al the settings..

You can adjust the carb a little bit till your RPMs stay up. Don't get it to high or it might cause the motor to mess up.

you should have adjustments at the carb(s). make sure the exhaust is tight too. if it leaks too much at the cylinder head it can cause problems with idle and running.

there should be a idle screw on the carb that you can turn to raise the idling RPM.

Shouldn't be difficult, find the idle adjustment and turn it up a little.

If all of the above fails you then it is likely that your carbs are very dirty and your spark plugs are fouled.

turn the idle screw up
