Subject:      Cleaning the idle stabilizer valve
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

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.
