Next, hold a finger on your idle screws one at a time, open the throttle and let it snap back.   You should feel the slides reseat through the idle screw.  This ensures the throttle is working freely and correctly. Make sure to check both sides.

Visually inspect your carbs then reinstall your air filters, tank, fuel line, seat, etc and test the new cable with your machine running.

At this point you're almost done - do a visual inspection.
