Check choke cables for freeplay.
If that's OK, change idle jets. Stock size is 45. I run 40s in my Eldo,
which is a 950, like yours.
Can anyone tell me why the stock main jets for an Eldo are 1445s, while
the stock mains for the 950-cc SPs and Converts are 125s? Seems odd,
but what do I know?
As for idle mixture, turning the screw clockwise leans the mix;
counterclockwise richens it.
Start with 1.5 turns out from seated on both mixture I adjust the left
cylinder first. Turn its idle speed up and the right side's down, so
the left is ding most of the work. Turn the left's mixture screw in
slowly until that cylinder starts to run rough or its idle speed
stalls. Then, turn out by 1/4 turn, wait 10-15 seconds, and repeat
until you get the highest idle speed for that cylinder. It really help
in this to have an inductive tachometer hooked up because it shows
small changes in rpm that are hard to catch by ear. Then do the right,
after turning its idle speed up and the left's down.
Oil those K&Ns because they don't filter anything smaller than an ant
when dry, and they also release what dirt they do catch as the gauze
dries out.
