Default Re: vanguard briggs 18hp idle problem

Motor should idle below 1500 all day long. I once forgot and left my wifes big block idle for 3 hours, never missed a beat. I usually set at 1000-1100 rpm either the mixture screw needs tweaked or idle passage is still blocked. When setting idle make sure you set it with the idle speed screw and leave a little slack in the cable.
