I finished "rebuilding" both carbs on my '99 Speedster SK.

I just started both engines, and after a little cranking, they both fired up nicely.

One thing I am wondering about is the idle. I am running dry (only for a SHORT time) and see both engines are idling around 2500 RPMs. I did not touch the adjustment screws during my work, and put both (hi and low) speed adjustment screws in the same spot.

My question is, should I turn up both idle screws to get to 3000 RPMs? I guess it would be easier to do not on land, but I still don't know if it will be simple.

From what I read, the 720s should idle at 3000 dry, to get to around 1500 wet. I don't recall where it idled last season.

Thanks in advance!
