Carbs have been rebuilt, internal seals replaced, fuel line replaced but engine will not idle but about 30 seconds and quits. Have to lift cold start lever to restart. Under power, it runs great and will then idle about 1-2 minutes and quits again. Carbs have been adjusted to idle a little higher than normal but I feel as though it is just being starved for fuel. Suggestions anyone?
