I drove up here from Oakland for thanksgiving, the 3 hour drive took me a day and a half… my engine is showing classic signs of
a clogged idf idle circuit. I took it apart and shot carb cleaner backwards through it starting at the four tiny holes near the throttle plate with jets and mixture screws removed, but it didn’t clear the passages. If someone wouldn’t mind me spending an hour on the street outside their place and letting me use some compressed air that would be great. Otherwise I’m going to brave the Black Friday crowds and buy an air compressor. Of course plugging it in might be another challenge…

Great to hear greenmachinemike. When settled in share your success story to help others in similar situations.

Man I wish I lived near the area to help. It's good to hear you got it sorted out. How is running after your cleaning of the carb?
