At what RPM should this motor idle? It will idle at 850-1000 out of gear but will not idle “reliably” at anything less than say 1100 rpm while in gear. If you try to bump it down any lower it may run at 1000 rpm for a few moments and then it shuts down like you turned the key off. No stumbling, just dead. I noticed that the primer bulb will not stay hard at idle either and wonder if it’s a fuel delivery problem of some kind. Other than this issue it runs very well.

Check the shift interrupt switch?
