Newly overhauled motor and carb. New rings. Everything cleaned within an inch of its life. 2nd time running, 1st time water leak. That is resolved.  Here is the issue:

The service guide will tell you that the low-speed needle does not affect the high-speed performance. Not sure why the low-speed needle actually does affect the high-speed?

1.) I can’t get it to idle down to even the middle of the ‘Start’ on the mag plate indicator. It just dies.

2.) Will not start at the ‘Start’ position.

3.) Have to start it (warm or cold) about 3 or 4 clicks to the right of “Start”.

4.) I have a low-speed sneeze condition that I can’t adjust out of the carb.

5.) High-speed adjustment does almost nothing at high-speed. (really nothing, I can’t perceive any change once I open the HS needle enough to run the motor)

Take a look at the video please? Notice that the low speed adjustment raises the high speed performance.

Ideas?

I’m going to check points gaps tomorrow (cleaned and polished already) and take a look at the LS packings. Maybe swap out for some orings?

Help!
