Re: Engine won't start

Markeatmark your engine is getting broken in. It's running better and the idle is getting faster. There's a screw with a spring on it on the left side of the carb. Just unscrew it till the idles right.

...and check for air leaks while you are at it. A high or runaway idle is usually caused by air leaking into the intake through the gasket where it bolts to the cylinder.
