This is an approx. 2 year old Tec 0HH60 6 HP engine that came on a used mini bike I purchased. It has the carburetor with the infamous "primer bulb"ut:, however that is not the problem at this time (yet?). The engine has good power, and runs very smooth other than at low idle. I believe that it still has the governor connected, however not sure.:shrug: I have no idea of any servicing (especially carburetor) history on the engine.
I cannot get the engine to idle down properly to where I think the rpm should be. If I set it where I think it should be, it idles rough and eventually stalls out. I have to keep the throttle "juiced" a bit to keep it going. Same thing happens when first starting it or after running it hard and letting off on the throttle, it will eventually slow down and stall if I do not keep the throttle up a bit.
I can get it to idle smoother and not stall by adjusting the idle screw up a bit, however with the increased rpm the clutch just begins to engage slightly and the bike will start to "creep" with no one on it. I do not see any other carb adjustment screws on this engine (they may indeed be there, however I do not see them). Would greatly appreciate any guidance form the many experienced minds on this forum!
