thanks for the info sea rider. the problem was that the new rebuilt carb i installed had the adjustable groove height too low and that made it idle too high. I moved the little washer and now all is well. i did not understand how that worked. but now i do
actually full story is that last season it would easily start and run well at idle and low speed but when given higher rpm would stop and not re start. so i bought a new rebuilt carb which is what is on it now with the high idle.
I also took out th little tiny fuel filter in the internal fuel...
unfortunately, the O ring is in place so that is not the problem with the high revs. I guess I dont really understand how a 2 stoke carb works. is there a low speed jet and a high speed jet? can you adjust the low speed. the screw on the side with the spring over it does what?
Just put a rebuilt carb I bought online onto my 3.5b but the idle is about 2500 rpm and looks like the end of throttle travel. how do you adjust idle speed?
