Do you have the throttle plate adjusted correctly then adjust your two screws on the drivers side of the carb?

Yes mate adjusted them
The screws only make a difference if the revs are high or if the choke is on

The only thing I could think of if that is set would be a clogged idle jet or a bad fuel shut off solenoid

That carb should have the throttle plate barely cracked open and the idle speed should be set with the big screw on the side. Then the small screw leans or richens the idle. If the throttle plate is open too far you will expose some of the progression ports and it will be a bitch to tune

Do what ur saying is it should be cold with the choke plate shut to tune idle?

Re: Bugpack 4062 1600 solex 34pict3 wont idle
The engine should be warm to tune the idle. The small screw on the throttle arm should be backed all the way out then turned in till it barely touches the choke cam(with the choke open) open up the big screw(idle air bypass) so it runs at a pretty high idle then screw it in to lower the idle(you will probably have to mess with the idle mixture screw to get it to run smooth enough to keep dropping your idle)

Re: Bugpack 4062 1600 solex 34pict3 wont idle
Oh right yes thats how I usually set them
This one will just not play ball it wont respond to the big screw unless the choke is set
Iv even swapped jets about to how it says onliiy should have

Sounds frustrating it's got to be something in the idle circuit

Re: Bugpack 4062 1600 solex 34pict3 wont idle
That would be a uncommon occurrence. Is there any part that is shared between both carbs? Hows your fuel pressure

Il have to check the valves
Could it be a few tight valves not opening properly and due to the higher lift cam ?
