Hey all, just finished putting 1974 Sizzler back together for the season. Does this motor need the throttle butterflies held open a hair to idle? If not do I have plugged idle jets? If I rich en up idle screws and leave throttle closed motor runs rich bogs down and quits. I've got the motor running fantastic the way it is now with butterflies partially open but just curious.

Throttle plates are normally closed at idle.

If it's running good the way it is, just leave it and go use it. JMHO.
