Okay. I had some self-induced carb issues last summer. I did solve them, but I also had the carb apart for new gaskets. I kind of overthought my first fire-up issue, solved it (crossed wires. Doh!), and then it was all over the place on the next fire up. Thought for a bit, and pulled the carb apart, blew out the bleeds on a hunch. I set the throttles at about .040 of transfer slot visible, and set the idle screws at 1 1/2 turns out. Right now, the timing's at 32 at 1500. Can't get a shot any lower, but in the past it has idled nicely at 10 initial, with 36 all in. Cab, am I reading it correct that I should close the throttle blades up until the transfer slots are NOT exposed? I also suspect I could bring the idle screws out a bit more, so I will try that tomorrow night when the neighbor's at work. smile
