Re: motor will not idle

did you totally soak the carb,are you sure the passages whithin it arent plugged,are you sure you have all the right carb parts,there were many different setups on those engines over the yrs.that said,the throttle roller rides on a cam under the flywheel,sometimes they break and the roller dont ride correctly,be certain nothing has broken off that cam and the roller is in time with the advancement of the timer which is what rotates under the flywheel,it should rotate freely,they stick sometimes
