sv650 tick over
Hi
My sv650 k1 model is idling to fast....idle screw is adjusted...throttle is as closed as it can be,,,,,one thing I did was put my hand over the opening of the front carb,while engine was running...felt the suction,then fuel,then engine stopped due to flooding I assume?....did the same with the rear carb...felt the suction,then fuel..but the engine did not stop..could this suggest a air leak in the rear carb,making the tickover to high??? |

Re: sv650 tick over
Are the carbs balanced, even roughly?

Re: sv650 tick over
I think you are in the right direction with an Air-leak but also search the forum for problems with the Choke Plungers.I'm still pretty new to SVs but I think I've seen similar symptoms caused by them sticking.

Re: sv650 tick over
How old is the choke cable? They stick after a while and need replacing.
Mine started sticking intermittently which was a pain as you cannot tell if it's balanced right until you know the choke plungers are being returned properly.

Re: sv650 tick over
just one thing....when the engines warm and I pull out the choke the engine starts to die...due to being to rich??...so if the choke was stuck wouldn't this happen?

Re: sv650 tick over
It might be going all the way back at the bar, but it splits into two under the tank, so one of these could be causing your issue

Re: sv650 tick over
Some years ago I had an intermittent tick over problem with my Curvy. The main problem was the choke cable was sticking after the split for one of the cylinders so a new one sorted that. Also one of the carbs was not connected properly to the airbox too, which didn't help.
