Re: carb. reeds

sounds like a lean sneeze, not unuf (enough) gas at idle. If its 2 cycle it has reads. I would clean and adjust the carb/s<br />Richard

Re: carb. reeds

A "sneeze" at idle is caused by too much air entering the motor. It may be a throttle plate slightly open or a dirty carb not allowing enough fuel in. <br /><br />Its not unusual to rejet the idle circuit on older crossflows. Clean the carbs and install factory kits. If that and the snyc-n-link doesnt fix the sneeze you may want to richen up the idle circuit a tad.<br /><br />Your carbs were calibrated for the available fuel in 1988. We dont have that fuel anymore.<br /><br />Good luck!
