idle problem on a84 200m won't stay running

[vtx rider]

wondering if any one knows why my 200m won't stay running,i have messed with these three wheelers for years.Ijust had the carb apart cleaned and checked everything,when i put it back on it starts right up but won't stay idling.It acts like it's getting to much fuel,i have to hold the throttle lever about a 1/4 open does anyone have any ideas. give me some input.

ive had to clean my carb on my 200x 3 times now , looks clean but keeps clogging, bad or old gas was my culprit, maybe change your jetting?

I can try that or rebuild another one of my carbs and see what happens thanks

my buddys 84 200m has the same problem we replaced everything, plug, coil, stator, carb rebuild, come to find out it was valves.

I was having the exact same issue on my 200x. I got so fed up with messing with it I bought a new eBay carb. Now it idles just fine. The internal parts of the carb get worn and too much gas gets by. No carb kit comes with a new slide and they are an arm and a leg at the stealer.

I'm going to be writing up a review of the carb I bought shortly.

Try some WD-40, that's what I have used in the past.

wd-40 just spray it into the top o the carb ? i have a twist throttle and the cable may be too long not sure if this is why its binding up

[rdlsz24]

I normally pull the slide out and use my fingers to coat it with WD-40. I would look into that cable

thanks ive had troubles with it in the past but growing up on dirtbikes the thumb throttle seems unatural to me, maybe i should just go back to the thumber ? or just a shorter cable for the twister, it has a metal cable housing with a 90 degree bend where it goes into the carb and the bushing is worn and wont hold it in place , i have it secured now with electrical tape not sure how long it will last
