[QUOTE="canuckxxxx, post: 127043, member: 2409"] Tonight I took the carb off again with the idea of drilling a 1/16" hole in the primary throttle plate. Then I realized that I would have to unbolt the adapter from the bottom of the carb. I think that is where I got a big air leak when I first installed the adapter and it wasn't leaking now so I decided to leave it alone. Then I checked how much the primary throttle plate was open at my idle setting by shining a flashlight into the bottom of the adapter with the garage lights off. I could see a definite sliver of light at the primary. But I could also see a very thin sliver on the secondary. So I adjusted the secondary throttle stop screw until the sliver of light disappeared. I screwed the idle mix screw in till it stopped and then backed it out 1 1/2 turns. Put the whole thing back together, started it up and let it warm up. I noticed a difference as soon as I started it because, even cold, I could close the throttle and it would chug away at 400 - 500 rpm. Previously it would have died. Once warm I found that the my throttle speed setting from before was too slow, 600rpm. Before I turned it up I played with the idle mix screw and found that a 1/8 turn in from my original 1 1/2 turns gave best, smoothest idle. Then I turned idle speed up to 1000rpm. Idles very smooth now, probably the smoothest it's ever idled for me. Something to check next time you take your carb off is to make sure the secondary is closing completely. Brian [/QUOTE]
