Posted August 4, 201212 yr 1984 XJ600 Revs UP! I've just got me bike ready for Mot. Its been off the road for a few years. I put a set of reconditioned carbs on it, but when you blip the throttle it revs up to 3-4k and wont come back down. I have to switch it off. Any help / ideas would be appreciated. Thanks Davy
August 14, 201212 yr Hi Davyb got a few problems myself but would say. Start the bike as normal and try only pulling out the choke cable in and out, if fine try the throttle. if one sticks and other don't maybe just the cables.
August 14, 201212 yr Author HI Thanks The choke is not on a cable, I'd tried both those. If i turn tickover away off its fine, and when I set it so it ticks over ok, when I blip throttle it just revs up. I got a new throttle today so hopefully get it on tomorrow. But now I need a fuse box and starter relay.
August 15, 201212 yr Its going to be a tight fit, but see if you can get to the carb throttle lever themself (the part where the cable meets the carbs) and rev them from there, that way you see if its the throttle cable or not?
