'90 100XP. I was running on muffs today after I deleted the oil side of the VRO. It was idling good at higher RPMs but when I would bring the high idle lever all the way down it would quit after about 15 seconds. Was looking at the motor and and right in front of my finger is a screw holding a black roller like piece on. There was a white piece around that touching a cam to the left. Half of it was missing and the other just fell off. Does that not touching the cam to the left causing problems?
In another pic there is what I think is called a cam follower? There is a ton of play on either side of it. Is that missing a piece around it?
Which leads to my last question. In the pic under the flywheel the gold piece which I think has to do with spark advance can be moved from left to right an inch with out any of the other linkages moving. Seems like a lot of slop or like there should be a spring that holds it in its starting position. Curious also is these things would have to do with the fast idle lever on the controls having to be pulled up pretty high just to get the idle to come up a little, and the same coming down? Have to push it down a lot before the RPMs will start to drop. Sorry for being so ignorant on what everything is called.
