When cold starting (after sitting overnight) the engine fast idles for a few minutes at 4500 - 5000 rpm. After a few minutes, I can tap the gas and it will idle at 550 - 600 rpm. Where on the carb is the adjustment for the fast idle?

 

See carb sticky at the top of this forum. Look for fast idle adjustment.

 

thanks, i didn't even think about that.

 

If you get stuck or have a question, we're here...

 

found it, got it adjusted to where it doesn't idle so high cold. what is the recommended rpm while the choke is closed?

 

On an overnight-cold engine it should settle in around 1300-1400 shortly after startup.

 

thank you very much to both of you. my carb appreciates it!
