Well fleetwin….In addition to cleaning the filter…I cleaned the copper fuel tube and blew through it. I have removed the cap at least once to eliminate the possibility that the vent is plugged. I have not (at least I don’t remember) doing a dribble test. I will do that.
When I said that it doesn’t idle normally…..I should clarify. It idles down very nicely…..but it does so with the throttle lever kinda between START and SLOW. All my other Lightwins need the lever to be slid all the way over to SLOW for the slowest idle. I know that’s not right…but I don’t have a clue as to what if signifies. The synch between the mag plate and carburetor linkage is set correctly…..the carb begins to open right when the throttle lever is set to the two dots on the cowl.
I can do a video. I want to buy a TinyTach or equivalent…..I thought it would be nice to use that in the video…..the sounds in a video can often be deceiving.
