In the mornings I still get a double pop when I let off the gas and one pop between shifts. In the afternoon it hardly pops at all.
Anyway, I still can't ajust the pilot screw, so I must still have something blocking a passagway in the carb. I did notice that when I screwed out the pilot screw that the idle went up slightly and then when I went all the way in it slowed slightly. I almost didn't notice it, but there was a slight change.
Do you think another can of seafoam might do the trick or should I start taking the carb apart?
You could remove the pilot adjusting screw completely, then use the little red tube to shoot carb cleaner in the hole. Do it with the float bowl removed or with the drain plug removed. Let the carb cleaner drain out, put the pilot adjusting screw back in and return it to the last setting you had and then tune from that point.
When removing the pilot adjusting screw be sure that the slotted head of the screw is not damaged (easy to do) and that the little spring, tiny washer and tiny o-ring come out with the screw and are in good condition.
