Can anyone advise to a problem with tick over @ 900rpm not being constant, when you come to a stand still after running bike for some 5miles or so, the bike runs up to and extra 100rpm. checked all seals in CV Kiehn carb stage 1
S/Eagle air filter and pipes fitted.Also will only start on choke and run constant after a 10min layover. Then I can take of choke. Plugs S/Eagle and
are colour correct(not rich or weak).

I read about a trick to check for air leaks. It said to CREFULLY (being mindful of hot sources) take a propane tourch, on but unlit, and at idle slowly pass it over possible sources of air leaks. Sources like intake manifold, heads etc. If you stall it out you have found your leak.
