New issue lol never ends but now I noticed etheir there is no high idle when cold (use to be on for 3min) but now it is not on at all. This started after I turned the choke up to a richer mixture due to it stuttering when I pushed the throttle when cold. Could I have broken or Miss adjusted anything to make the high idle stop working?


Also it does have the automatic choke.

Never mind found the issue- the high idle cam was loose from the base of the carb causing it not to engage the high idle

The fast idle cam screw is torque prevailing and should not back out by itself.  Put 1 - 2 drops of blue Loctite on the screw threads to lock the screw in place.  But, don't use so much that it oozes out and glues the cam, too.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!
