I've pulled the idle stabilizer valve and spayed carb cleaner in it until no gook came out (lotsa gook in there) - but should I do anything else? Perhaps let the cleaner sit inside for awhile to dissolve things? How much is too much? Joel & Dave: you were right -- when the wire to the stabilizer valve valve was disconnected the idle dropped down to (about) normal. john |
