I'm having a low idle problem, I think the loose linkage is part of the problem. I can get the idle down low enough but then when I stomp on it and let off... it dies. I set the idle up high and had been driving it around, a great deal of the time it dies when I come to a quick stop.
heres what I've done:
fuel tank cooked and epoxy coated, new fuel lines, all oldies cleaned out or replaced. fuel pump seems adquite.
Carb rebuilt, pulls 19-20 in of merc. at 800-1000 rpm. float sits just above level I think.
I first thought vacuum leak, can't seem to find one though. maybe my carb job wasn't good enough. I was pretty thorough and cleaned and replaced everything except that one ball bearing that is down that deep hole with a clippy on top. It seemed to run fine this past winter started up and idled well. then I fixed the vacuum leaks and know it wont run right. doesn't make sense. help
