Ok so I put in a new cdi and the scoot is running great. My only issue is the idle, and wanting to go when its stopped. I did google it and came up with the idle screw solution.
My problem is I go to adjust it and get it set right but after a mioe ride it wants to idle high again. Around 2800-3k rpms.
Ideas?

i wonder if the new cdi is causing the problem?  also wonder if they can be reset by unhooking them or some other way... but i don't know anything about it so lets see what others have to say. |

I dont think it is the cdi, it runs and idles great. Is it possible for the screw to move to where it idkes higher?

My bike likes to idle high and I use to have trouble keeping the tire from spinning. Then I got new clutch springs so the clutch doesn't engage until it hits a higher rpm. These are different from the Torque spring I'm gonna be givin' you. Now I can even rev my engine without the tire spinning, like a real motorcycle! There's probably a better solution though. |

I was thinking about them springs. I have a feeling its the idle screw that the issue... at least I hope so. It didn't do this before the new cdi, but i expected to have to adjust something on the carb after i put it on anyway. |

Most aftermarket cdi's will advance timing a bit even at idle,all are different,,so you will have to turn it down a bit.Wait till its hot,,than adjust it for 1900 or so,,when its cold it may idle very slow and almost stall until warm,,but that's fine.You need to find the sweet spot so it will stay running cold but not idle too fast hot,,follow me?

lol, this reminds me of this one time a lady locked her keys in her car and asked me for help. i got a coat hanger and spent about 5 minutes trying to unlock her car. some guy pulled in the parking lot, gets out of his car and says what are you doing?!? um... he is on the passengers side... reaches his arm through the open window and opens the door.  always check the obvious first... guess sometimes the obvious isn't so obvious. |
