WILL NOT IDLE was created by austinwike
Recently cleaned the carburetor and now it will only start with the throttle half open. If I let go of the throttle it dies immediately. The idle point is clear having just cleaned it. No matter where I put the adjustment screws it runs the same with the throttle half open and then dies when I let it go... Any thoughts??

Idle adjustment screw too far out?
Carburetors not synchronized? (Ooops, just looked at the picture :whistle: )
Idle circuits clogged?
Major air leak?
