hey everyone, my 04 summit 800 has a high idle when i stop, idles down eventually, or can flip the choke to idle it down. It did the same thing with the old motor. I replaced the pilot jets with 20s, it helped a little, but still does it, anyone have any more suggestions, thanks.

The idle screw is ok, after it sits for a min, it will come down to a normall idle, I've checked that. Appreciate the help.

I'd be willing to bet it's the middle or 3rd position, but I don't know for certain. Most carbs I've ever dealt with had 2 notches either way from the stock setting, usually in the middle.

Anyway, have an 02 800, and the other day I get this idea, maybe I want it to idle a little higher so I pop it up a bit, and low and behold it starts doing just what mike was talking about, set it back, gone. I didn't pop it up much just a little.
