Hi Skinnywater,<br /><br />Replaced the fuel tank today with a loan one and used it at the back. The problem of a rough /low idle was there after a heat soak episode. This rules out the fuel hose length scenario. The only change i noticed was a slightly higher base idle (60 rpm)once the motor returned to normal running. Why would a shorter fuel hose give a slightly higher idle.<br /><br />i ran the motor for a while and then turned it off and i disconnected the hose from the motor. I let it sit for a while and restarted it- the rough low idle was again present.<br /><br />i checked again with the mechanic and he assures me that the float levels are ok. Is it time to look at electrical or CDI or whatever.<br /><br />This only happens after the motor has been turned off for a while.<br /><br /><br />Regards<br /><br /><br />Kellaq
