just recently joined this forum earlier today hoping to get some more helpful tips on my grizzly.
a little back story on my situation. i bought a 99 grizzly 600 for $200 guy couldnt get it to run and let it sit for 4 years. I tore the carb apart put a new needle and seat in it and cleaned all the jets and passage ways in the carb with seafoam carb cleaner and air. put the carb back in and it fired right up but idled very high. i adjusted the idle with the screw thats on the cable and got it where it sounded healthy and smooth, went put on a ride and it idled down when i came to a stop and it shut off. turned the idle up some and it ran fine again. the next day when i started it it idled really high again i let it warm up and idle never dropped so i adjusted it back down and it died again on a ride.
my question is, is there a proper procedure to setting the idle like there is on cars. or is it as simple as just trying to find a happy place for it.
