[QUOTE="Urban_Hunter, post: 5342445, member: 12353"] The “correct” answer is to check for sufficient fuel flow out of the pump and then to rebuild and adjust the carbs. If everything else is working great and it just doesn’t want to idle and/or stalls in gear, you can adjust the idle speed screw to give it more rpm’s at idle… then it should take the load from the prop engaging without stalling. Fuel is so bad now, I can’t even explain it. I ONLY run ethanol free fuel in everything that’s not fuel injected, and I had a Honda 250 that has a 2 year old carb on it that wouldn’t start this spring. Pulled the carb and it looked like it had been sitting in a barn for 30 years. Varnish you could scoop with a spoon out of that thing. I use Berryman’s carb soak. It is a miracle worker, but it will destroy seals and gaskets so make sure you remove them if you go this route. [/QUOTE]
