[AJD] What a day - Galloping idle - Backfires

[Dean VP]

LeRoy:

I suspect that you simply may just have the carburetor adjustments out of
whack.  The idle adjust must be done at low RPM and the load adjustment
needs to be done only under load. I would suggest you check the operator's
manual and determine what nominal settings are for the two needles. Set them
there and see what happens.

The other possibility is that you have some dirt in the orifices that are
messing things up. Then the carburetor may have to come off and blown clean.
Now if the fuel has gelled then you have a bigger issue to deal with.

Duane,

Thanks for you insight.  One of these days I'm going to make one of your
talks at the gathering.  

I was driving it up an incline in a field just to see what it did.  Wasn't
steep but I thought it might provide some load.  

What I did notice when adjusting the idle that nothing seems to change.  I'm
hoping it was the gas since I haven't changed it in over 8 months or better.
So I'll empty the tank, put fresh in and see what happens.  I'll order the
plugs and condensor (wires are almost new).

LeRoy
