So I have an 850, atop a stock 318. LOL, Yes it is over sized. However, the issue is not to do with the secondary situation.. Only off idle hesitation.
So the thing runs about as good as any carb anything i've ever seen except for when it is not at full op temp. Although tonight it was raining and I gave her the beans off a red light in to a left corner to see if she'd slide. It didn't but it did take off and get up in to the secondaries in 1st. Immediately afterwards upon decel and coast it was running really rough and noticeably shaking. So I pulled over and pulled the breather cover to make sure for whatever reason, the choke didnt get buggered and close a little bit (who knows, thats what it felt like anyway..).
Upon pulling the breather lid up, it kinda picked up idle and ran better. odd. (probably needs a new air filter) I adjusted the idle screws out some as a start and got a much better idle out of it, probably went about another turn on each screw. IT raised the idle so i turned down the idle stop, however I got to a point where the idle screw left where the idle would return to. I assume this means the blades are as "idle" as they will be?
I dunno, i took it for a ride with the new setting and air cleaner completely off. It seemed ot run very well, however it was also still full op temp. Will have to test tomorrow.
