      Hello, I was away for a few days, have you managed to sort this then ?

      if not take a picture of the front carb , and behind it ,  it should have a long cable idle screw with a spring and washer going to a throttle “PLATE” that is under the front  FLOAT BOWL  (where fuel rests upside down)  (aka. left side of the bike is all you need to be, don’t go to the right side of the bike)

      I would screw in really gently as threads strip and use PUTOLINE Race Grease on “anything” that moves on the bike because weather wants to rust your bike every chance it gets and parts seize.  Parts are for carbies are getting rarer now, so you want to look after it as best you can.

      Hide your brake discs ,  –> wash bike -> dry up —>  get ACF50 can —> soak the entire bike engine , parts  in it, and it will thank you. I know , i said it too simple but a youtube video of applying acf50 on the bike exists by now.   If unsure, ask and i will find an appropriate video.
