Great Chief Lottanookie says if u r running the stock carb,there is an idle adjustment screw,gold hex head slotted on passenger side rear of carb.Righty up idle,lefty slower idle.Set it up a half turn or so and see if that helps.BJ

What? Me and the Chief? He is my slightly greasy alter ego.Brings me news from the spirit world and keeps me straight on things.Where I go,he's been there-kind of like Kilroy in WWII. Plus he gets more a-- than a toliet seat so he is kinda fun to hang around.Lol.BJ
