Re: Dies at Idle

Timing seems right.
Could be the needle/seat is the problem.
Sometimes people hang the clip on the needle onto the float wrong.
You’d need to pull the top off the carb to check it.
Or you could be getting something in the needle/seat causing erratic idling.
I had one that I found a tiny piece of wire that moved in and out of the needle and changed the idle like yours.

When was the last time you had the carb apart?
