[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 281658, member: 3278"] Do yourself a favor first and just richen the idle mixture. Better yet close off the idle mixture screw (counting the turns) and lightly seat it. There may be nothing more than a tiny piece of debris in there. Return the mixture screw to the original position and try the engine. If it works, fine, and if not turn it counter clockwise 1/4 turn and see. You may eventually have to go into your carburetor but I would hold off if the overall running quality is as good as you say it is. [/QUOTE]
