Bob,
Welcome back!
If the carb is set up right then you should be able to essentially shut the
fuel flow down till the bike stalls.
If you have removed the cables (both of them) and have screwed in the idle
screws to the stops then I might say that the screws are worn...or the slide
has a grove in it where the screw touches it. I think that if you have an
air leak in the carb....like at the top it would creat rough idle not high
idle.
I remember last year that you found out that you had the wrong jets in the
carbs. When you pulled the carbs to clean them did you re install the jets
in their correct locations? The bigger jet (the 145) goes onto the
accelerator pump. The smaller pilot jet (45) goes next to the pump.
Think logically....and you will figure it out.
...Ian

Gentlemen,
I am back, thanks to Charlie. Hope all of you are well.
I have an opening problem, of course. Last year my 69 Ambo ran pretty
well but she never idled that well so over the winter I cleaned and rebuilt
the carbs. Reinstalled everything. Now, the bike starts well but she idles
way too fast, up near 2000 rpms. I have tried the two screws on the sides
of the carbs at factory specs, above and below factory specs. Even screwed
the srews into the carbs all the way but she still runs real fast. Friend
told me I have an air leak somewhere between the carb and head and to spray
ether which I did but there was no accleration noticable. Took all the
cables off the carbs and buttoned them back up and she still ran fast, with
no cables! Any suggestions out there. Thanks, and again nice to be back.
Bob Hawkes
