FL250 goes full throttle on start up

[Ifster]

Hello All,

I'm getting back to my Odyssey project that I abandoned a few years back. Previously I had replaced the brakes and the parking brake, with both new cables.  I took an afternoon and put it back together. Gave it a pull and it fired right up. Problem is it goes to full throttle immediately. The throttle cable is not too tight.
Any thoughts?

Thanks.

I think I got it. I had the needle above the plate. So should be good now.
Next I'm going to rebuild the carb and go from there.

Hey Ifster,
I'm having exactly the same issue with my fl250, when you say the needle is above the plate what do you mean by that? i have mine setup exactly like the shop manual does

its hurting my brain as to what the issue is hahaha

Kind Regards

Look at the diagram on page 8-3. The "jet needle set" with the E clip is below the plate that the spring sits on. I had it above the plate. Also, I think what I was considering was full throttle was probably not. It's just because it's so loud that it seems like it's faster than it actually is.

Also, can you tell me where the long (about 3') red wire that branches from near the coil wires goes to. Doesn't seem to be any other responses on my other post.

Thanks
