Jparkes43 329 #20 Posted November 28, 2014 thanks geno, does anyone know why it wont idle when it runs above idle it is fine but when i put it to idle it cuts out does anyone have an idea what that might be. james Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geno 1,929 #21 Posted November 28, 2014 There's an adjustment for idle, it's not too low is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jparkes43 329 #22 Posted November 28, 2014 There's an adjustment for idle, it's not too low is it? doesn't seem like it because just over idle it seems to run very fast, not sure weather to take off the carb and clean it or if the mixtures are wrong, what setups for the turns on the jet screws are you all running or if you don't know what are the presets? james Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geno 1,929 #23 Posted November 28, 2014 You can try running them all the way in then back them out 2 turns for starters. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jparkes43 329 #24 Posted November 30, 2014 got some work on the ranger today, seat on, outside pics with juliette and got the deck adjuster but the split pin won and the angle grinder was the only way it was coming off. james 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
