Idle speed?

[bajagokart]

Hey guys!
So I noticed a couple days ago that my go kart has this habit of "creeping" or rolling without me touching the gas! I know that the driven portion of my TC is set to 1600 RPM and I would rather not change it. So I was wondering if it was possible to change the engine idle speed lower than 1600 RPM?

Adjust the idle screw...

Make sure you have a throttle return spring in place to hold the throttle closed when you're not accelerating. Now look at the throttle lever on the carbuerator. See the screw that the throttle arm rests against when fully closed? Adjust that screw counterclockwise, a little at a time, until the idle is low enough that your kart doesn't creep, but not so low that it's stalling.

baja, are you sure the driven is set to 1600, or is it the driver? if the driven is set to 16, the driver would be set at 14 or so?
