So here's the latest. I've been starting it here and there unfortunately due to lack of time or bad weather and every time i've started it i get a really erratic idle so isuppose i have to try and find an air leak somewhere but the thing that's frustrating me is that i can give it a little bit of gas no problem but when i go mid to full throttle it seems as though when the clutch engages it cuts out so my question is: Can your clutch gap be too big so when it engages there is so much force on the clutch bell that it stalls the crankshaft there for flamming out

I've never had a problem like this with any other motor and all i hear is how easy O.S motors are to tune so i'm hoping it is something else not the motor
