Hello and good evening,
I just went through my entire fuel system and rebuilt the carbs, replaced the fuel selector valve, replaced all the gray lines, and cleaned out the filter. She started and sounds good. Sounds like a strong engine, but the only problems is that it dies if I dont give it throttle. I dont have to give it much throttle to keep it running, but it dies if I let it go. It sounds like the engine maybe idling to low. Is their a way to adjust the idle? If not then what should I try? Does it have anything to do with the low speed screw? I thought I tightened it to specs. Compression was tested about a month ago with 140 psi per cylinder. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
