Hi everyone. I'm new here. Just got my first bike and it's 2000 ninja 500R with 3,200 miles for $700. Previous owner dropped it 2 years ago and stopped riding. Need upper and lower fairings and headlight. Took the old gas out and put new one. Cleaned the air filter and checked spark plugs. We were able to start it yesterday and it ran crappy in the beginning but after we added sea foam to the gas to clean carbs it runs smooth. Problem I have is I can not get idle below 3 k. I played with idle adjustment screw and also little screw that has spring on it. It is located next to the one of the cables on carbs and was able to get it down but didn't last longer that 15 min and it went up again. What should I check? Also I have two hoses coming under seat next to the battery. One is coming from gas tank and other(clear) is coming from carbs. Both of them are just hanging there next to battery. There is hose that is located on the side of the battery and runs to underneath of bike. Do I have to connect any of those together or not? Thank you very much for taking time.
