Thank you all for the help---Ive checked the carb for air leaks and found none so I rechecked for kinks in the cable and discovered that even with my cable straight and all adjusters bottomed I still have a big gap at the bottom of my throttle slide- 5/32"- so it seems the throttle is part open at idle----what if any gap should there be? do I trim down the plastic stop thingee at the hand throttle to close the gap?

oh and the spark plug is wet and black ---thanks again
