Running a slightly tuned ts1 225 with 35mm mikuni ,ram air filter and jl4 pipe, fine when cold but revs high when warm and when slowing down seems to oscilate??? Can't set tick over at all when hot? Any ideas?? To be honest looking for a starting point before i start to strip everything. Runs fine through rev range?

Cheers Gents

Could be a few things that one. Could be lean and as motor heats up the effect is leaner hence the over revving.. or somewhere the motor is drawing in air. It could be from virtually anywhere. Head, base, seals, mag housing or even a crack somewhere.

Pilot jet too small, blocked or just requires setting the air/fuel screw??
