1982 maxim 650 idles rough

Was idling high with inboard header pipes cooler than outer two. Pulled carbs and removed bowls and found idle jets both plugged for the two iner cylinders. Opened them carefully so as not to damage or change jet size and reassembled. Now carbs are clean, jets are all open. Starts easily but revs higher than it used to when choked. Warms up much faster than it used to and when choke is taken off after warmup it idles low with what sounds like a miss in one cylinder, but all four header pipes are hot. Haven't tried to bump idle up yet as I want to address the "Miss" first.

you have a fuel delivery problem...have you tried a carb cleaner?  You may need to remove and rebuild the carbs.

SOURCE: idles but won`t accelerate

Change fuel filter.
fuel pump sounds fine.
Check for kinked or blocked lines.
If it has a fuel recovery cannister service it.

Idles low and ruff with a slight miss, but not sure where to adjust the idle at.

The idle adjust screw is usually accessed from under the carbs, usually in between the #2 & #3 carbs. Start the bike and rotate the head of the Screw/Bolt/Knerled adjuster one way until the idle revschange, if the speed decreases, turn it the other way until the idle RPM is where you want it.

I have a yamaha xj650 maxim which was a project of mine and it will not idle below 2500 rpms. There have been many add ons though 4 to 1 exhaust free flow air filters clean carbs added stage 3 dyno jet kit...

I would recommend adjusting the idle screw on the carb. If it is not the idle adjustment, then check the choke as it may be sticking and that will cause the engine to idle at that rate.

Carb has been cleaned started atv up with choke off it idles very high pull choke out idle drops but if you remove the chike from the carb plug the screw in port it idles great i think it needs a o ring...

one of your jets is fully or parially clogged. Remove the carb, remove the bowl from the card, then remove the jets. Spray compressed air through the holes and clean with carb cleaner. Common problem with old gas. Also clean out any varished gas from the carb bowl

I have a 2002 yz250 that wont idle. It will start everytime and run as long as your on the gas but dies when you let off the gas.

Drain the carburetor. There should be a screw on the lower side or a plug on the bottom of the carb float bowl. Remove the screw/plug then replace it after the fuel drains. Remove the carburetor from the engine.

Remove the float bowl and clean the entire carb with a spray carb cleaner from the auto parts store. Wear protective goggles to avoid getting spray in your eyes. Spray into all the little airways and fittings in the carb. Remove the idle screw and the air screw on the outside throat of the
carb and spray into the screw holes as well. The diagram below depicts the problem area. The bike will idle properly once the pilot jet and related passageways are cleared.
< < READ CLOSELY > >
Be sure to put these two screws back in the same hole they came out of. IMPORTANT > do not tighten these two adjusters down. Only screw these in until they LIGHTLY seat. Now turn each adjuster one and one half turns outward. Put the
carb back together, clean the air filter and install the carb. Let the float bowl fill then start the engine.

1982 yamaha xz 550 does not run under 3000 rpm

Hey pal, this bike probably sat 4 awhile right?
If your idle jet is clogged it won't idle, the carbs need to come off, turn them upside down and remove bowl to see the jetsIf this is too much then take it to a moto mech
