Reply To: JW 14 compression numbers?

This may not be your problem, but… I had a JW that ran great, started easily, pumped well, but died when idled down. Simple fix was to keep the carb from closing too far. It may have been a carb from a different year, or some other part was switched out, but with a piece of wire in the linkage to keep it from completely closing the carb, it idled down really well and came back to speed without hesitation or stumble.
