Fred,
I don't know what to tell you about the idle speed. Only input I have is to
make sure you have slack in your throttle cables.
My Eldo came in parts too. The only difference between your PO and mine was
that mine needed the cash to buy more beer and stuff and I don't think he
cared what I did with it. I did and soon I will have restored one of the few
Police Eldo's with the 4 leading show front brakes.

Yes it's the first Eldo/Ambo/V700 I've had. The guy that sold me the pile gave me a good price and I promised him I would put it back together and not part it out. I need to send him a photo. There's something gratifying about pulled a box off the shelf containing new shocks I bought 2-plus years ago on Ebay, and installing them on the bike and taking it for a ride. After my initial ride yesterday I need to retorque the heads and reset the valves, and then I can put on a few miles before repeating the procedure prior to Daytona. The motor seemed to want to pick up speed sometimes at idle. I don't think I have a vacuum leak. Would stretched distributor advance springs cause this (like they do on Yamaha XS650s)? |
