Easy way is get a vegascarts adjustable idle mixture carb.Sho will chime in here with a cheaper more complex method.

Re: Can't change from forward to reverse without grinding
Was out of town sorry
Cheap method is drill the plug out of your carb over the idle mix screw, then open it up and tune in a good slow idle. If still too lean you have to pull the idle speed screw and pull that plastic plug out, the idle jet is in there, figure out a way to enlarge it slightly. Its a tiny jet, it limits max flow to the idle mix screw. The idle mix screw is on the side near the spacer, the head side. The idle speed screw of course is on top. A few clones they break the screw off, in that case you have to dremel a slot in it and I heated it with a solder gun to losen the loctite and it came out easily. Get a new screw on ebay or where ever. You can't get a good slow idle with out adjusting the mix and speed. Mine will idle with the compression release going off. This is what I did before VC had cart stuff to buy. |

Re: Can't change from forward to reverse without grinding
Its in the same spot as the smaller gx200/200 clones. Its right by where the carb stud goes into the spacer on the side away from the block. Google images "clone carb idle mix screw" or something like that.
