[AJD] H trouble

[Tom in N Texas]

Folks,

My idea of cleaning a carburetor is disassembling what comes apart easily, 
then blowing lots of air through all the passages, and making sure that all 
are open. Put 'er back together with all old parts, including gaskets, and 
see if it works. Not always, but usually does. Probably won't work so good 
for a carb that has been sitting for a long time.

I don't even know how to get the main jet out of my MT: It's frozen solid, 
but I may never really need to get it out.

Keep the treating the gas in the tank, to minimize carb deposits.

Just my humble opinion.

Are you talking about the High idle adjustment as opposed to the load 
adjustment? If so I suspect a foreign substance has gotten into the 
carburetor passages. Maybe a carburetor removal and a thorough cleaning 
will solve the problem.
