Hello,
I just resolved the issue of the carburetor leaking, so now I can return to the original problem... No matter what I do, the engine will not idle. For instance, if I stop at a stop sign, I have to feather the throttle a bit to keep the engine from quitting. If I just lower the throttle all the way and disengage the clutch, the engine will quit.
The only way I can get the engine to not quit, is to turn the idle speed screw all the way in. But then it seems like a VERY fast idle... Even if I back the screw off a tiny bit, the engine quits. The strange thing is that if I turn on the choke, the engine speeds up a ton! (that's not normal is it?)
Anyway, it appears to run fine when not idling with the clutch disengaged, but it is sure annoying to have to restart the engine after every stop sign
Anyone know what is going on?
Thanks
