trouble with idle
07/16/08 at 17:42:26
 
i just replaced my sparkplug and cleaned my carb.  I'm running a 155 main jet and the stock pilot jet.  I have a Jardine slip-on.  Now I got it all back together and it started right up. yeah!!!! but it doesn't want to idle I turned up the idle screw almost all the way.  when you give it about 1/4 throttle it sounds good.  also when you give it 3/4 throttle or better it stutters a little.  where should I start looking??  is it possible for throttle cables to stretch??  mine has a lot of play

It sounds like your stock pilot jet is too small, and you may possibly need to do the white spacer mod.

so does the pilot jet size determine the amount of fuel at 0 throttle

Simple answer: Yes and the white spacer mod controls midrange.

Pliot jet affect 0 to 1/4 throttle.
Needle (adj by white spacer) is 1/4 to 3/4
Main jet is 3/4 to WOT.

to do the spacer mod am I just looking for a thinner washer of the same diameter?  Also, anybody know about throttle cables stretching??

Get a couple of #4 washers from the hardware store, either metal or nylon.
