    hi guys

    i just picked up a 83 interceptor, i really liked other than when the bike is cold it runs fine , once its warm the idle climbs to 4 or 5000!!!!!!!! its also using alot of fuel , i burned half a tank on 70 kms, any help would be great , we check it out kinda last night , the carbs seem ok no tears in any lines or the diaphram

    Coolant Level And/or Engine Temp.troubles. If Gasoline From Tank To Carbs Finds A Too Hot Pathway There Is Danger Of Gasoline Evaporation Before To Join The Carbs....then Irregular Idle, High Consumption, Low Power...
