Hi guys my s3 just refuses to idle when warm, will idle when cold on the choke, but then choke pushed fully in just dies . I had adjusted the external idle under the tank, however even fully turned clockwise the bike refuses to idle.
When warm bike will rev, any ideas, i have taken carb off and stripped top and bottom, however can not find any thing wrong, no split rubber, or dirt in float bowl.

Did you spray WD40 to check the intake seals?

Did it sell?

Just a stab in the dark here, but was it perchance the idle jet :?: :P
