Do you mean whatever you set the aircrew and throttle stop too or as it arrived?

Apparently some people like them to cut out on a closed throttle

By the way getting a consistent idle from a Gasser is the Holy Grail.

I have a nice consistent idle on my GasGas motorcycles. The trick is getting the right jetting setup.

What slide do you use?

I tried every combination of jets/needles/screw settings and never got it spot on. I eventually had it to an acceptable compromise. I now have a 200 which is a bit better but it still varies according to, temp (engine and air), how long it's been idling and attitude (pointing up or down). Now I know all carb engines will vary according to conditions but Gassers just seem to vary too much and are too sensitive.

I never bothered to buy different slides as I got it good enough.

The '01 behaves slightly differently than the '06. See my posts in the jetting database for both.
