Where is the idle screw, air/fuel adjustment screw on a VT750Cd

turn the mixture screw all the way in then back it out between 1 1/2 turns to 2 turns
that will get the engine to idle from there set the idle speed with the throttle screw to desired idle rpms
now turn the mixture screw in slowly until you see/hear a fall in rpms
now screw the screw out until again you hear /see a fall in rpms.
half of the number of turns back in from in to out will be the desired air /fuel mixture setting
adjust the idle with the throttle screw if it has altered
you can repeat the procedure again to fine tune the mixture after adjusting the throttle screw

Kescorpio56:
Check your throttle and choke settings. Something is causing the throttle plate in the carburetor to remain open or the governor is improperly set. I would reset the air/fuel mixture screws to one and a quarter turns out and back the idle screw all the way out. Make sure that the throttle cable operates the throttle properly and check the governor setting and reset the governor setting if needed. Start the engine and adjust from there. When the engine starts, adjust the idle screw until the engine idles. Adjust the fuel/air mixture screws for the best idle. Then run the RPM up and adjust the fuel/air mixture screws for the best run/idle combination. Don't forget to adjust the governor if the engine runs too fast or too slowly.

Let's focus on adjusting the air/fuel mixture. This adjustment can help balance the fuel-to-air ratio for both cylinders. Here are the steps you can follow:

Idle Screw (Air/Fuel Mix):
The idle screw, also known as the pilot screw, adjusts the air/fuel mixture at idle. It affects the fuel flow from the pilot jets (idle jets) into the carburetors.
Locate the idle screw on your carburetor. It's usually a small black knob near the choke.
Turn the idle screw to achieve the desired idle speed. Listen to how the bike sounds while adjusting it.
Note: Adjusting the idle screw shouldn't significantly affect the mixture setting.

Pilot Screw (Idle Mixture):
The pilot screw (idle mixture screw) fine-tunes the air/fuel mixture from idle rpm up to about 1/8th throttle.
To access the pilot screws, you may need to remove the air box and carb side cover.
The factory default setting for the pilot screws is typically 2.5 turns out.
Carefully screw each one in until it lightly seats closed, and then count the number of turns.
You can adjust the pilot screws to make the mixture richer (more turns out) or leaner (less than 2.5 turns).

Dual Carburetor Sync:
Since your bike has dual carburetors, it's essential to ensure they are synchronized.
Use a vacuum gauge set to synchronize the carbs. Adjust the linkage screw until both throttle butterflies are in the same position for idle2.
Synchronization helps maintain consistent performance between the front and rear cylinders.

Check Rear Cylinder Idle:
If the rear cylinder isn't running correctly at idle, it could be due to a partially plugged idle jet.

Consider cleaning the carburetors if needed. While it can be a bit of work, it's essential for proper performance.
If the issue persists, consult a mechanic or consider opening up the carburetor for a thorough inspection.

Remember to take your time and make gradual adjustments. If you're unsure, consult your bike's service manual or seek professional assistance.

start by synchronizing your throttle plates. Honda calls the next step the "idle drop procedure". u need to know if you have fuel adj. screws or air adj. screws. fuel screws will be on engine side of carb slide, air screws will be on airbox side of carb slide. start leaning out mixture, (turn in fuel screw, turn out air screw. idle will increase so keep adjusting idle back to spec.after each turn if needed. Adjust about 1/4 to 1/2 turn at a time on each carb until there is no change in idle, then richen up mixture by one half turn. If u sync throttle plates first then follow this procedure, there should be no hesitation when you "blip" the throttle, and after revving it should return to idle smooth,
