One more thing to consider.  When you step on the clutch you are pushing =
the crankshaft forward and into the thrust washers that are mounted =
between one of the main caps and crankshaft. It is metal to metal =
contact.  This will tend to slow the engine down.  If your idle speed to =
too low then this can cause your engine to stall.
