Are you sure that you have the right spring in the slide? Sounds like it doesn't have enough tension to return the slide.

Yeah. Both springs and slide act the same. I thought about that too.

Something is keeping the slide from returning to idle position. Is idle screw(top one) in too far?

When running I have screwed all way in and out with no effect.

Right now i have it as close as I have gotten it.

I cant start without spraying the air intake with fluid. Then when it starts the throttle is still engaged but not as bad.

I'm assuming the non starting is because too much fuel?

Unscrew the idle screw until the slide completely blocks the venturi. If it doesn't, find out why. Then screw in until slide starts to rise.

Adjust cable by throttle grip

Yep. I'll keep playing

If the non starting is because too much fuel...how could spraying MORE make it start?

Hey Ottoman. Thanks for the clip!!

So problems seem to be solved.

Slide was sticking on old carb. Once seated on new carb, with clip from ottoman on the pin, and throttle cable adjusted all the way towards grip, idles accordingly and throttle works like a champ.

Thanks to everyone.

I love it when a 10 cent part solves a LOT of frustration. This forum is a great place to get problems solved! Many have helped me. Happy scootin'
