Morning!
Well, after a geourgous drive home last night and in the dark this morning :0( I have noticed a small problem with my Fury running an x-flow with twin 40 DCOE's....wonder if anyone can share some light?
THe problem is that over the past 48 hours the base idle have jumped 500rpm upwards! Everything else seems to be running perfectly but when you come to a halt it is running at 1400rpm. Now I relaise that just a idle correction should get rid of this but would be much more interested to know what caused it??
The manual choke is all the way in and seem that the cable is free moving from it, along with the throttle cable - any ideas what might have caused the jump - shakes the hell out of you at trafffic lights now but low down pick up is much more fun!!
Cheers,
Gareth

Have you checked to see if the carbs are closing fully? In other words, is there a gap between the stop and the idle adjustment screw?
Had similar problem with car of mine once and it turned out to be throttle cable starting to fray with one of the broken strands catching in outer sleeve and preventing full return travel.

Chech the misab seals for air leaks, this is very common on these, use carb cleaner and spray it around them

I had problems with my Xflow in my JHE Locost, it turned out to be the balance screw on the new webber linkage wearing out after 5 days or so! its going back!
