Re: Carb problem
He's saying your statement is incomprehensible, what exactly do you mean by "ticks over"? Switching gears?
EDIT: So apparently ticks over is british slang for an engine running at idle. In which case you are saying your idle speed is shooting up as it approaches operating temp, I had a similar problem with my bike when I first saved it from the last "mechanic" who worked on it. In my case the carbs themselves were beyond trashed with a frozen spark advancer and the curb idle screw was cranked up to compensate to get the bike ̶r̶e̶a̶d̶y̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶s̶o̶l̶d̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶n̶e̶x̶t̶ ̶s̶u̶c̶k̶e̶r̶ running. So yeah, sorry I can't be more help, but in my case the carbs were far too gone to isolate what was causing it to any one issue.
