I HAVE A 1982 185S THAT I AM GETTING BACK INTO SHAPE. MY DAD, WHO AS RECENTLY PASSED AWAY, GAVE IT TO ME FOR CHRISTMAS WHEN I WAS 14. I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT THE BIKE ON OUR PROPERTY AND NOW AM JUST TRYING TO GET ALLL THE LITTLE THINGS FIXED ON IT. THE BIKE RUNS GOOD AND I RECENTLY REDID THE CARB. THOUGHT EVERTHING IS NEW IN THE CARB, I CANT GET IT TO STAY IDELING, THE MOST I CAN GET IS ABOUT A MINUTE. I THINK ITS A VACCUME PROBLEM AND NOTICED THE VACCUME LINE COMING OUT OF THE CRANK CASE WAS BAD. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS WILL EFFECT THE IDEL OR AM I LOOKING IN THE WRONG PLACE. IT ALSO HAS A NEW AIR FILTER AND FUEL FILTER. AS LONG AS YOUR NOT IDELING THE BIKE RUNS GOOD. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
