Post Stock carb idle problems
On the trailer, Idle different speeds, sometimes 950 somethimes 1200. Push down on the carb linkage with it is running, goes down to 950. Two much play in the linkage. Did any try to put a spring on the linkage to pull the carb back to idle, then adjust the idle afterwards? If so, pictures would be great.
THANKS in advance.

Mine doesn't jump to 1200 but it does jump around a good bit. Haven't messed with it though. So I'd be interested to hear a response also.

On my old 35 I added a little more bend to the throttle linkage bar to shorten it slightly so it pegged it on the idle adjustment screw. Can't remember about the 36 linkage though.
