350x idle problem

[Erics350x]

i have a 85 350x that idles very low and crappy pops and dies. I have the idle screw all the way in. I tried ceaning it still no luck. It idles fine with the choke on and runs out very strong. Any ieas?

Here ya go, for a banshee but same carb principles-
Q#32:What’s the choke trick?
A#32:The choke trick is an easy way to tell if you are rich or lean on one or more jetting circuit. Since the choke richens the mixture, you can use the choke to quickly find out if you need to richen or lean out your jetting: with the motor fully warmed up, pop the choke out to the first notch (half choke) and ride it; if it runs better with the choke then you know you need to go richer on your jetting; if worse you should be able to safely lean out your jetting.

Make sure your mix screw is not all the way in and then you go ride. Your bike may overheat. I would say 2 turns out should be ridable, but every bike is different. If your bike has good compression, take the carb apart and blow it out good with compressed air. Take off the jets and all. Make sure you use a manual. Then rebuild it. If it still won't idle, you may want to rebuild your carb. I did to mine and it works great.
