  • Surging Idle = How to fix?

    My idle is surging, some times stalls out it is so low then other times it slowly climbs to 1,500-2,000 rpms.

    any suggestions on how to fix it?

    Sounds like a vacuum leak or the need to synch your carbs. To track the vacuum leak, try spraying some starter fluid around the intakes, or use unlit propane.
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

    When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
