Well, the beast has a lot of power, but no matter what I do, the idle is waaay too high. I have had everything completely apart, and no change, although the carb slide works smoother now .
It starts right up, goes to a high idle, and then after about ten seconds just dies out. Some fuel comes from the exhaust when I rev it, as well. I'm SOOOO close to driving the thing, but the idle is so high that if I put it on the ground it takes off, and if I lower the idle via trim or manually, it dies right away.
I've done some searching, but everyone seems to have a different problem lol. Are these symptoms of a leaky tank seal? I can't find any air coming out of anywhere on the engine...
EDIT: I just talked to my buddy, and he seems to think it's too lean, but then why is fuel coming out the exhaust? MAN I wanna run this thing bad LOL!
