1991 suzuki Katana gsx600f

problem: cleaned carbs, started the bike now I can't get the idle down from 2500 rpm, the throttle cable is fine, idle screw is doing its job, i have the pilot screw set at 2 turns back and it starts up fine, i have played with the adjustment and at 2500 at 2 turns back is the best setting, i believe i need to sync the carbs, but where can get a carb stick or a merc manometer? maybe i didn't clean the carb right but, i am very sure i did, i have the manuel. please help, any suggestions are great, [email protected]

Sync the carbs. Carbs in need of synchronizing can definitely hang up the idle. You should be able to buy a sync tool at any dealer. Call your dealer and if they want too much money, call a couple more. I bought one locally for $45 or so. Another dealer wanted $70.00 for one.

Thank you.

Thank you very much. I will attempt to do this. Do you possibly think that my float hight may not be adjusted right? Or could I have possibly cleaned the carb wrong?

I really think that the sync should do it. I haven't personally experienced this problem, but I have heard time and time again that a sync can fix it. It's cheap and (relatively) easy, so why not give it a shot first?
