Hi-Idle, Low Anti-freeze, check warped head

[floridascuba]

As for the Hi-idle and low anti-freeze, I believe I have that fixed. When I noticed a high idle last time I was riding, I went to go turn it down and found that the return line to the anti-freeze line was off and no anti-freeze in the reservoir. I have since re-filled anti-freeze and reconnected the return line. But is there a way to check for a warped head before I go back out without tearing anything down? I checked compression and its 130 on both.


I have read that low anti-freeze will cause a hi-idle, but why? I would think wants it got hot, it would shut down to protect itself.

If it just started the high idle, check the carb boots. Take some brake cleaner or carb cleaner and spray it around the rubber boots are in between the carbs and block while the engine is running and see if the idle changes if it does you need new boots.

Boots are new and checked them already with carb cleaner. No leaks.
