Marcus:


There is one other thing to check, which could very well be your
issue.  The busings which hold the throttle shaft are made of a soft
metal (as I remember they are bronze) and DO WEAR OUT.  As they wear
they pull in air around the shafts.  A few sprits of carb cleaner
should confirm this if the motor begins to idle properly.  When they
are worn you can tune the carbs worth a damn.


By the way, the remedy is one of two options.  Press in new bushings,
line bore, and ream, or, option two, get a set of rebuilts!  Again, you
can rebuild yourself, if you have the time.  Beck-Arnley or Napa carry
a lot of the parts!
