(I thought I sent this to Joe Reeves but don't see it in my sent folder.)
Have had the motor for about 4 years and runs very well except at idle. Dies when moving from N to gear. I can quickly move throttle up past idle and all is well. I have done lots of reading here and after throwing my hands up took it to a shop who said it has lean sneeze. They claimed to do timing, link synch and carb rebuild. This improved the problem but now after about 20 hours of runtime it is back to where it was. I believe I STILL have a lean condition in the idle circuit. I have NEVER had such a cold blooded motor and yet runs great at higher RPM. I am going now to the launch to try and restrict the air flow into carb throat as described by Joe Reeves.
I read Joe Reeves idea about installing smaller jets. Where do I get these? And how do I know what the next smaller size is? Any other advice would be appreciated too. Thanks.
