LA 360 high idle

You most likely have gunk in your idle circuit from sitting/crap fuel.
Remove needle and spring assemblies from top of carb. Remove idle screws from front of carb. Blow compressed air thru each opening of removed idle screw. Re-assemble and adjust idle screws (about 2 turns out each) is good staring point. Start up then re-adjust idle screws as needed. Turn one at a time until she starts to stumble then back out a half turn or so.

If you have verified that the choke is good. That there are no problems with the high idle. And that the curb idle is set properly. Then next I would:

Rebuild the carb. Break it down entirely. Soak everything in carb cleaner/acetone overnight. Being sure to remove any plastic parts of course. Blow carb cleaner through it (pressurized can type). Then blow compressed air through all the passages. Re-assemble. And follow AJ's guide to Transfer Port Synchronization to properly set it up for idle.


The carb was rebuilt but sat for over a year.
Only clean fuel has been through the carb as I'm running it off a 2 Gal can since I know the main tank is filled with old fuel/gunk.
This is wierd.
