Just got it firing!
I recently bought a ‘87 V65 Lario. It had been sitting for some time, so I knew there would at least be a carb rebuild in its future - that’s all done now.
This is my first carbed bike, so forgive me if my questions here are misguided.
As soon as I shift into first and ease off the clutch (no throttle), I stall. (This is just with me on it - the wheel spins when it’s on the center stand, although there’s a drop in RPM.)
I have tried increasing the idle speed on the carbs, which increases the RPMs while neutral, but I still stall as soon as I ease off the clutch.
My question: is this normal for this kind of bike? I swear it wasn’t doing this when it first came back from the shop, but maybe my memory has failed me and I just need lots of practice with clutch and throttle control in the friction zone.
