Chunges- I am pleased to see you aren't scraping bedliner;)

So if you have a new solenoid you must know the tip isn't hacked off. Can you hear your idle solenoid click when you turn your key?

If I understand correctly you unplgged the idle solenoid while the engine was warmed and running, with no noticible change in idle?

If it's true that an IS stops idle fuel when diconnected then you must be getting fuel from your primary nozzle. I had my engine idleing with help from the primary nozzle and got the same fuel seepage outta my throttle shaft.

If your visual inspection of no fuel comming from the primary is a correct assessment. Wouldn't either your idle solenoid have to be sticking open or have too short a plunger rod? I'm guessing your idle solenoid is fine but if you suspect it isn't, perhaps an inspection is in order. I'd be curious to measure the shaft length and how much it moves when juice is applied.

Have you performed a valve adjustment with a hot engine recently?

Regards

Brother, I miss those heady day's of supervising Fred in the esoteric art of bed liner removal. I've had little opportunity in the past few days to take on the carb issue. For the time being, the mule is tucked away in winter quarters. My plan is to hit the under carriage with a winter coat of Fluid Film (sheep dip) and start round II of Carb adjustment.

I'll start at square one and run through the diagnostics, helpful hints and tips of the trade everyone has recommended. Just to be on the safe side I'm rounding up an old priest, a live chicken and an unblemished heifer. Never hurts to hedge your bets...:joyful:

Problem solved...

Turned out to be a faulty solenoid. Replaced the "culprit" yesterday. Dialing it back in today. No loading (weeping) in the bowl - even idle (little high yet) @800 RPM.

Thanks for the assist!

Thought I would post up some pics from the recent "small victory"...Added new solenoid + connection = No loading/smooth idle.
