I had my pump gone through and the O-Rings replaces and given attention internaly. They also turned the fuel up a little bit
and installed my new gov. spring.
The Motor runs way better- smoothe as silk (I think I could balance a nickel in the block) and very much better throttle response.
However the idle was a bit high when I first ran it. Tonight I pulled back the idle screw all the way- that helped to get it back down to close to where it used to be. But I would like it to be a little lower. I notice that the stop screw is withdrawn
below the where the lever touches the end of the stop screw. The lever is now bottoming out on the housing so it cant go any lower as-is.
I notice that the stop lever rides on top of another main lever below it. It also appears that the stop lever must have a central hole with possibly 1 or 2 flats which engage similar flats in the shaft. I am thinking that there should be an aftermarket
stop lever which has the flats rotated about 10 degrees (or 15) so as to restore the full range of the stop screw.
I think I could even re-work a surplus lever to accomplish the same thing. (if the hole has a flat or flats and not a spline.-
though if it had a spline it could be advanced a tooth----- bet it has flats--- )
Could also get another lever- remove flat- then drill a #3 hole through the flanges of both plates where they overlap-
then put a #3 bolt- castle nut with cotter pin in the hole to lock them together.
Anyone try a scheme like this ?
