I have the fast idle lever down. I made progress today. Was able to switch red lever to normal after starting and letting idle a few seconds. Took a few times, but I eventually was able to start in normal position after engine got warm. It has been setting up awhile. I did clean carbs. I only took out and cleaned two jets. Not sure how many there are per carb. Cleaned all the bowls and blew out all the holes. I did not take float off. The top part of the middle carb was bad dirty kinda like a dark caramel film all in it? I could not get it to idle without the fast idle lever up a little. The motor kinda coughs as I am letting it run? As for the EES, like I said the only part I did not change was the body that little metal check valves are on. The one thing I questioned about the EES body was that the nut that came loose does not have the hex shape mold for the nut like the other one does. I'm not sure if they should look the same. I had to back off the nut a little bit on the "in" check valve to get it closer to sealing. If I tighten the nut up all the way the check valve up about an 8th of an inch. Does anyone know if that nut needs to be tighten all the way, or should it be adjusted so that the check valve seals all the way down. I am starting to think that it should be adjusted. How else would it have came undone like I found when I took the EES apart? As for the coughing or puffing, any suggestions? Sea foam, rebuild fuel pump, new hoses and primer bulb, or did I miss something on carb clean? Maybe that check valve not being sealed all the way is causing it.
