Heck.. If the guy is certified.. then make him fix the errors. IT could be
that there's an o-ring or washer that's supposed to be under the idle
mixture screw or something similar.. that wasn't replaced during re-
assembly.. or maybe there are pilot/main jets that were reassembled into
the wrong positions... Fuel level set wrong in the float bowls?

I do know that Haynes manuals have been wrong in their descriptions of carb
parts before, so whatever went wrong could have been an honest mistake...

G'Luck!

I'm an Instructor with a group in Cornwall and we have 6 TTR125s These
bikes were serviced by a certified motorcycle mechanic in order to
pass the MTO safety check. He pulled all the carbs and cleaned them.
Since that time none of the bikes will idle.. Adjusting the idle speed
screw does nothing whether screwed in or out, unless the choke is
pulled,then I can vary the speed using the screw. If I remove the
pilot jet which is adjustable the bike will not run unless I put my
finger over the pilot screw opening then it will run as though the
pilot screw were installed until the bike stalls. Any ideas on what I
can do to remedy the problem? Thanks
