Well, I finally started the engine on the MTD build tonight. I can't seem to get the idle lowered though. I checked the slide on the Mikuni and it's bottomed out as it should be. The idle screw is turned out as far as it would go without completely falling out of the carb. It's idliing so high that the TC is engaging.
Can the mixture clip adjustment on the slide cause a high idle situation?
I also used the rubber hose to make an angled intake and I'm also wondering if I'm drawing air in at one of the hose clamps....
I attached a photo of my set up. I have never worked on a Mikuni before and it's a learning curve for sure.
Any suggestion are appreciated.
Thanks,
Larry
