Idling Problem
I can't seem to get my buggy running right. I have to grab alot of throttle to keep it idling. The idle gap is pretty wide at that point, but it idles. As soon as i release the throttle it dies. It requires the idle gap to be open pretty far. Is that an overly lean bottom end? I had to lean the LSN alot just to get it to start and stay running. It runs fine when i give it alot of throttle, nice smoke, no bog. The you let go of the "trigger" and it stalls like it's cutting of the idle gap all the way. But it's not. The throttle linkage is set up perfectly.

You should be able to set your idle gap at 1 turn from JUST closed and leave it... then if it doesn't idle, slowly lean the bottom end till it does...

Ouch!....You have just learned 2 really good but expensive lessons..always move the piston to the top before you pull the backplate off, and always pay attention to which way the piston came out so you can put it back the same way...Sorry you learned the hard way. I promise you will never do that again!!!
