Hey captains! I need some tech help. My rocket ship has idle issues now. It started with a fuel fillup at a station where I always buy fuel...real fuel, not the alcho stuff. After the fuel up, and within five miles, I started noticing it running a little goofy. After a slow turn onto my road, I had to keep the RPM up because it wouldn't idle. It died while pulling back into the hanger.( rocket ship talk) I assumed that the fuel was the culprit, so I drained it imediately the next day and refilled with fresh fuel from the house. I still had idle issues. I saw a post about a twelve minute tune, so I completed the tune. I shut the bike down and let it cool and restarted to move into the garage and idle was back to normal at 850 rpm. The captain and co-pilot went on a trip of 25 miles the next day and when returning i noticed the idle very slow again to the point of dieing if I didn't maintain some throttle. I completed another 12 minute tune and everything was fine again. I went for a 300 mile run the next week. Upon meeting my buddy at the quick stop, I proceeded to show how the Triump had " fixed itself" only to see that the same idle issue of idleing about 450 rpm was back! I completed the run and the next day completed another 12 minute tune. The idle speed was back to normal as I rolled it into the shop. I started the rocket today for a trip and now my idle is 1450rpm after proper warmup and will fall to 450rpm at a stop light of about 30 seconds. I rode the bike home and the idle was 1450 most of the time falling to 450rpm after a 30 second stop light. When reaching the house, I started the rocket to pull in the garage and notice the fan was on so I assumed the temp was warm and this time the rpm was the normal 850. What is wrong with my Rocket machine???
