Idel RPM On Honda Magna

[Bonez]

How can i adjust the idel speed up on my Homda Magna 85' ?

On a bike that old - poor idle is more likely a carburetor problem or a vacuum leak than a simple adjustment problem.

^ Also potentially symbolic of a worn engine. Yes there is a screw you can adjust to alter the idle rate for either each or both carbs (depending on the model/engine size). Come to a beyond meet sometime and I'll adjust it for you, or PM me Perhaps I can meet you at a gas station and quickly adjust it for you. Correct Idle should be 950-1050 RPM. If the idle constantly fluctuates, then there is a possibility the carbs are either dirty or not in proper sync, but most likely the top end is due for a rebuild. As these engines wear, they require a bit of a increase in idle to compensate for their lower compression. Although almost all carbed bikes idle a bit low when their cold.
