Yeah, I was able to ajust the idle, until I messed with the mixture. I'm checking for sticking choke parts now, but I've got everything really lubed with white lithium grease right now, so it shouldn't be sticking unless there's something bigger going wrong. I'll just make sure nothing it sticking, screw the mixture screw in all the way and start again from there. If nothing else, it seems to be running (and idling) just fine right now, so maybe it's ok. I also just bought a fuel pump, which may solve more problems than I expect (I hope :gap: ).

I'm going to advance my timing a bit and try some seafoam and see if that helps, and if I get around to it, clean & adjust my rear brakes, make sure the e-brake isn't grabbing etc. I know my ebrake doesn't work right now, but I figure it could be slightly stuck on.

Get an FSM, and visit this site http://www.bluebassdesign.com/boonin/carb_faq/
Gave me a lot more confidence to mess around.
