Motor starts and idles good when first starting. After warm up does not want to Idle. Any pointers. Compression is good, Idle screw is maxed out.

You may be too retarded on idle timing. Check the sync/link, esp the timer base link arm to make sure you get enough timing at idle when warmed up. Possible your engine may have an automatic spark (power pack-induced) advance that goes away after the engine warms up.
