Members have been kind enough to give me advice in the past. Here is my current problem.
I have a 1975 CB500T and just finished installing a new battery, cleaned tank and filters, installed new plugs and cleaned carbs.
The bike started easily for the first time since 1987 based on the registration sticker.
The problem is that I get about 2000 TPMs when the choke is on and without any throttle. When I take the choke off, even without touching the throttle, the RPMs shoot up to 5,000+
Any idea what is causing this? I removed the top of the carb to check that the closed throttle is in the correct position and it closes about 99%.
Help, thanks
