Nikki carbs are usually simple, with only a fuel mixture screw and an idle screw. Is the fuel mixture wound up too much?

im not too sure to be honest, i found out what the problem was, the main butterfly in the nikki had a grub screw missing, which made it have a air leak, so it was idling very irraticly, now ive sorted that it doesnt want to tickover when its warm.. i have not got the idle screw screwed in to far if i screw it in more it should idle hopefully, whats a good tickover speed to have it set at? thanks Lee

i'd say a good tick over would be about 750-850 but mine ticks over a tad lower about 500 sometimes lower
