Picked up a new to me running 72 sears 3.0 and it starts but won't idle .. checked the bowl it was clean drained the E10 fuel mix and added 40:1 Trufuel with about a tablespoon Sta-bil FastFix which is supposed to clean carbs but it dies when I throttle down to idle...Idle Adjust knob seems to do nothing it's halfway turned out...would it be better if I turned it all the way out counterclockwise to start with ? Maybe the carb just needs to soak overnight otherwise I'll have to pull the carb apart...Is there a way to clean the idle jet without removing the carb ?Runs smooth at all other speeds... I really appreciate any advice on idle tuning this motor thanks
