Heathen fashion victim. 250RS was the most humble looking yet the pokiest of the Honda 250's, a device most suited to being kept standard as a 'sleeper' with which to humble more modern sheep-in-wolf's clothing 125 & 300 'spurts' bikes

What screw you diddling? The idle speed 'slide-stop' or the primary air 'mixture' screw?
I'll ask again... are you sure?
If you are adjustng the primary air screw... Eeek... could be a nadger... take it all the way out and make sure it has the really thin needle on the end! They have a habbit, not needing adjustment of corroding the carb body, so they shear when messed with after... what? Thirty years?
Other wse, adjust idle speed o the slide-stop screw.. and always lift the slide with the twist-grip before adjusting the set=screw, and then letting the slideback down onto the stop and letting dle settle before repeating to make fine adjustment.
If you let the slide fall when you wind stop out slide can stick in the body and ot settle, and when you have done, the ide can end up well below what yu thought it was; if you try lift the idle screwing stop 'in' you can end up just jamming the slide in the body and denting the stop-set ramp rather than lifting the slide... so do that o the cable...
Make sure the cable has some slack in t on the top adjuster first too, then take out the free-play after setting the idle stop to suit.
Oh.. plus make sure motor warm; and don't assume you need to make micture rich to compensate for the pod; with air flow from the side having to turn 90 degrees in small volume insde teh filter, so close to carb mouth, than are often more restrictive, not more free-flowing than an air-box, and causing turlace in the carb mouth can screw the mixture either way over the jets, and rev range!
BUT more likely pushed onto the carb mouth 'cock' either the filter or the turbulant flow may obscure or mask the pilot air drilling front to back through the carb.. making sure the pilot air port has clear flow is probably as much 'set-up' as is needed TBH. ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!

The highlighted red it what im twisting. I have turned it all the way out and the idle is still very high ____________________ Kawasaki! |

It's a slide carb so the only reason for it to be revving hard is that the slide isn't free to move all the way down.
What I suspect has happened is that the slide has rotated so that the angled ramp part of it is no longer above the idle speed screw and the whole slide is sitting on top of a very slightly protruding part of the screw. If you can remove the idle screw completely it should drop down and confirm that (catch the spring).
Alternatively, you've managed to pull the needle clear of the main jet and it's stopping the slide moving all the way down.
At this point I'd take it apart and see what's going on. You should be able to sort it just be taking the cap off, withdrawing the slide and re-inserting it so that the ramped part of the slide is above the idle screw, and checking that it slides freely all the way down.
This is assuming that you haven't been messing around with the throttle cable as well. No chance that you've strained it or pinched it under the tank? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

NO! No it isn't!
I assumed it was too, but if its the same carb as that CMSL schematic... its a hybrid CCV.. 'mongrel' cam-assisted vaccum-lift slide ... eek!
I which case .... All bets off... these things are a law unto themselves.
I have on in the shed, that was on one of the Super-Dream motors, but I think originally from a CM.... the idiosyncrasy, and quirkiness and a pre-mullered butterfly is why it's in the shed! It too had a pod filter on it; almost imposible to set up anything like, I chucked it in the bits box in disgust and fitted a couple of plain PD slide carbs!
At a guess part 10 isn't adjusting the 'idle' but the initial initial lift ramp of the slide.. if pod is choking the flow at the carb-mouth, as they are want, then it's causing excess manifold vacuum at the carb entry, and if so, that could be lifting the slide more than it should hence lifting it of the assist ramp,screwing the syncronisatn of the mechanism....
Sub-Assy 6 look like the idle-air needle; the one with very fine brass needle wont to corrode and shear in the body... be effin careful if you touch that.
Sorry.... no helpful hints on this one... other than either ditch the pod, and or go to a 'proper' carb! Horrible mongrel hybrid cantankerous, quirky illogical over complex techno blunders these things!
ALCOHOL.. advice large doses! Wont help... b-u-t.. in the morning at least you'll KNOW why you have a head-ache ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!
