Starts and runs great. Only problem is that when I shift into neutral to idle, or at very very low speed, engine will often stall. Idle stall is easily prevented by lifting the cold start lever a little bit when idling, but only way to prevent very low speed stall is to quickly shift from neutral to a slightly higher speed than I sometimes want or need to be in. Maybe engine is being starved for gas?! Is there a screw adjustment to feed a little more fuel to the engine at idle?
