Adjusting Idle on 2004 Summit 800

[jaredvh]

I have a 2004 Summit Rev 800. The idle seems really high (right around 3000rpm) How do you properly adjust the idle on these sleds. I just got it and don't know alot about them. Thanks

there is an idle screw on the top between the two carbs, towards the front.... That is the idle speed screw. Idle should be no more than 2000rpms on an '04 summit 800ho. I would probably check to be sure the that the throttle cables not too tight, and check the crankshaft seals(vacuum leak can create a higher idle speed as well. And couble check all vacuum hoses.....

Hmm, throttle cable... thats a possibility.. How do I adjust the tension on the throttle cable?

there is an adjustment on the cable just above the engine.... You'll see it.
