[QUOTE="cosborn, post: 469420, member: 25154"] Thank you! Looks like it's wide open when not choked. I read somewhere that the sputtering/backfiring at idle is because it's running too lean, and that I need to close the idle needle a little, but in practice I was noticing the opposite. If I closed the needle anymore than I had it the motor sputtered worse and I couldn't keep it running. When I opened it more (maxing my dial where I currently have it) it stayed running with regular sputters/backfires. I need to take the little dial off again to twist the needle out a little more to give the dial a little more range. [/QUOTE]
