View Full Version : 2k idle?

7th July 2013, 21:50
87 fzr750 that I bought and had a few problems with including (I felt) not pulling or running right.
Maybe a bit wrong of me to say that I thought as the guy I bought it off said it had a heap of money spent on the carbs when he bought it but after some of the other problems I had that the shop should have noticed for a warrant im not surprised what I found.
First I noticed after taking the tank off was one corner of number 4 throttle body where the diaphragm screws too was broken and had a crack where the glue had not held.
Ok cant really blame the shop for that cos I don't know it was them or not.
Took a bit to get the diaphragm tops off to raise the needles one notch with the screw heads rounded and whoever did them up was hamfisted.
What I can blame on the shop if they did work on the carbs was what the fuck was a 15x7ml spring doing floating around inside the cap of number 1 cylinder between the diaphragm and the cap effectivly jamming it from letting the slide rise up.:ar15::ar15:.
Anyway i have put it back together and wow what a difference it made some how cos its a lot smother on the power and wants to rev buy will only go back to 2k idle.
Took the carbs off and checked the idle screw and set them 2 turns out by the book ( they were 3 turns) and made sure they were installed with no air leaks but no difference.
Any ideas would be good?.
The only thing I can think of is the carbs need balancing What do you guys think?.
I have checked the idle screw if not the problem and the throttle is lose and letting the butterflies go right back.

Can you adjust the mixture at all on your carbs? Is it sucking in air around where the throttle body is cracked?

The mixture is the pilot jet 2 turns out but was 3 with no difference.
Don't recon its sucking air where its cracked with it redone with kneedit its better than before and wasn't revving before.

Has it got a manual choke?
Idle adjustment knurled knob, left hand side of bank?

Yes to both and the chock is right off and the idle adjustment is backed right off.
I rang the shop that worked on it and was very interested in what he had to say.
It seems that after they worked on it the owner and some numpty fucked around with it so god knows what is set up so might try to synk carbs first cos when I start it today it sound as if its not firing evenly at idle of 1500 revs and evens out at 4k above with throttle so could be carbs way out of synk.

Pilot screws have not been screwed in to hard, and left a wee groove in the tips? Sync sounds like a place to start though? Good luck chap.:2thumbsup

Cheers mate,
Possible its shit in the idle jet too as I have another tank coming as mines a bit shitty:( but if all else fails we do need some flood protection anchors in our river after the rain and snow:cool:
Do the easy stuff first and check for vacuum leaks. Spray the suspect areas with CRC while it's idling. If the revs change then you've found it.

The FZRs are real sensitive to float bowl height. If ya do a stoppie on one, you have to fuck around for a couple minutes to get it going properly.
If it runs mint with any throttle on, I would try and balance the butterflies first. Old school with a piece of hose held up to your ear, and the other end sitting at the inlet for the carb and the bike running is pertty accurate.
The last owner may have opened the carb you described that had the extra spring, (come to think of it, the spring you described might have come from between the linkage/butterfly actuator thing between the carbs. So have a look at that too. Should be one on both sides of the tab with the adjuster screw locating one), and now that it's gone it's too far open.

No the aim is to temporarily seal the leak with fluid, not aid combustion.

It's almost 100% going to suck in some ether and rev a bit higher briefly my way, but might not seal the leak your way is my only argument.

Thanks for the advice drew and hoon.
I took it for a quick ride tonight and it does run good on the throttle so will check with crc as that's what I have in the shed and have ordered some clear hose to make a balancer for the carbs cos my hearings shit lol.
It actualy sound like a Subaru when ideling a 2k when hot but as soon as you throttle on it evens out.
Has improved since last time out though but has a flat range between about 6-7 k

It's all a bit hard without seeing it, I'd be looking to see if that little spring didn't come from where I think it does, then I'd be looking long and hard at the cracked diaphragm cover. Any air getting above that, completely fucks the way a CV carb works. If it hasn't got more pressure in the surrounding atmosphere than above the diaphragm rubber, it won't lift the slide.

The spring is quite heave strengthwise as I cant compress it with my fingers but will look at the carbs and see if I can figure out where you mean.
Im pretty sure the diaphragm is sealed but will look at that too again but that wound only affect the bike when on a lot of throttle and the slides need to lift wouldn't it?.

Part number 31 in the diagram. Or that area at least is the spring I'm talking about.

They are a very stiff little spring, since they are not meant to be compressed by anything other than the balance adjuster screws. Especially not by throttling on or off.

Hey drew,
Well its def not the spring off the throttle set screw and is heavier than those so no further ahead there as to where it came from lol.
Will the starter fluid work spraying around the diaphragm cap I wonder?.
The good news is the bolts I got made up to balance the carbs on my other bike fit the ports on this and have got tube coming for a balancer so will be a longer process but can do 1-2 then 3-4 then 2-3 with it so will wait till get that done to see if that's the problem:yes:

Starter fluid should work to spray around the diaphragm I would think. If it's sucking air from there instead of creating a vacuum in the cavaty.
On another tac, have you pulled the choke (richener) bit's out of the carbs? They are just a brass piston with a rubber seal on the end to cover an air gallery. If they aren't seating the choke will be on all the time.

I have ordered some hose for the balancer and think I will bite the bullet and take the carbs off and go the full strip down, soak in white vinegar and blow out thing so will post up if that fixes it on a few days.

Carbs come out of the FZRs pretty easily. Just remember to take the choke cable out of the lever, it's easier than getting it off the carbs in situ if I remember correctly.

Bro check the throttle cables up in the starter switch housing. On my fzr1000 some times they jam up a little bit and cause it to run a little high at idle and the throttle becomes a little slow to snap shut. On the 87 there is a hole on the left side of the frame where you put the screwdriver in to adjust the main idle speed screw. If it aint, then its the big fuck off philips head the runs off the rubber cable from the centre of the carbs. Turn it out 1/2 a turn and see if it makes a difference.
Are your needles standard OEM or dynojet?

Not the switch housing as ive checked and theres plenty of play and the cable is returning right in with slack at the carbs and the idle screw is wound right off.
Standard jets I assume.

Wait. The idle adjusted screw is backed right off from the throttle cable wheel thingie?
One carb is adjusted too far closed. It shuts completely and doesn't run at all, bit the others are all still open.
Easy as bro. The little screws by the spring I thought was misplaced adjusts all this.

Mine came from the scrap bin at Ulrich Aluminium. Think the bastards charged me a whole fiver for it too.
Offset pegs are not the best idea really. Since they are held on by just one bolt through the back, if they can turn, they will undo.

I don't think it will undo where the the bolt goes through because theirs a keyway type bit on the piece that goes through the rearset plate.
Im not talking a lot and only the peg is what im altering and only about 5 ml back from where it Is now and the peg at the moment it's slightly forward of centre of the through bolt so would probably centre it more if that makes sense ( please don't make me go out in cold and take photos).

Im not talking a lot and only the peg is what im altering and only about 5 ml back from where it Is now and the peg at the moment it's slightly forward of centre of the through bolt so would probably centre it more if that makes sense ( please don't make me go out in cold and take photos).
Hahaha, I get what you're saying mate. All good.
Before you do though, perhaps check that the seat is centered, and the bars are straight.

I think they are and as I say I had this felling with my last bike so think its me.
Don't know weather I have one leg longer or something but to have the same feeling on two bikes would point to me rather than the bike lol.
The other bike was a bit more room on it so could live with it although was a pain on long rides:(
but this is more crouching and cramped up so starts to hurt the left foot after a while.
