I was asked numerous times what engine I was running and also had the announcer comment on how zippy it was. I managed to settle the idle down by backing off the idle set screw, but i think an air leak is still present because the carby is completely closed now when it's idling. Next outing will be Tempe on the 10th
dude take the engine out, clean it, tear it down, have a look at the piston sleeve etc condition and wear in process while you are at it, then don;t even bother checking the carby, just take out the carby clean it and seal it with gasket sealand it sounds like it has a air leak, also put a small bead of silicon ont he backplate as well, if you think this may be a area where there is a leak.
