First off thank you all so much for putting up with my posts, I hope I am able to ask one more question.
Tune ups, I'm pretty sure it is running the stock carb but I am having a problem with consistent idle. Some times it will idle at 2K and others it’s at 2500. If it ever dips below 2K it dies. I was told by the original owner that the chock needs to stay out about an 1/8 of an inch. I've practiced this and can't seem to get it right. It starts to idle to high so I give it a tap in, then it wants to die so I pull it out a hair. Just never seems to be right. He did say it’s sat for about 3 years.
So I am just thinking it needs to be adjusted and or cleaned out. I am probably going to take it to a shop to have the carb adjusted but I figure I would check here and see if it was easier enough.
I know I need a sync tool to adjust but is it easy enough to do at home or should I not bother?
