I have got to be missing something. The timing is dead on. Starts first kick everytime. I cleaned the advance rod and lubed it all up proper. New springs on the advance weights. Everything assembled correct. Carbs are clean as new. New points gapped correct. Valves adjusted. Idle mix screws set at 3/4 turns out per 73 bs38s. It idles really high and I can't figure it out. The advance was sticking open but it seems better now that is cleaned and lubed with new springs. I cannot back the idle off to where the motor will sputter or die because the butterflies are almost closed. I can back the idle screws off so far that they don't even touch the mechanism that moves the butterflies. I don't know if the advance is the problem? I did have the advance weights pinned closed and the idle was low like it should be, or close. But that is still with the butterflies closed. I've read thru the carb guide. I took them back apart twice to make sure they were assembled right. Sorry for the rambling post but I have to be missing something that is probably obvious. Lol
Anyways I am not sure if the advance is causing problems or if its a carb issue or if I'm chasing the same problem in a circle caused by both. Any suggestions?
