Carburetor Gremlins
« on: August 31, 2008, 02:02:48 pm »
It seems like I have to make a carb adjustment once a week because the idles is too low. Anybody know what could be causing this? I'm afraid if I keep adjusting the screw it's eventually going to fall out.

Yes, have someone adjust it that knows what they are doing, THEN, Leave the dam thing alone. :icon_wink:
