Revs rise when clutch is pulled?

[Chopper]

I know there is a thread somewhere here detailing this, has anybody got it bookmarked?

lean mixture. check gaskets. do they rise alot? or just enough that maybe your idle screw vibrated into a different position.

It rises a fair bit, but not all the time.... I may drop the needle a notch as I've been told my plug is a little 'dry'

Thanks Joe.

If your plug is dry, you definitely don't want to drop the needle. You want to drop the clip on the needle.

Um, yeah... that's what I meant, though I had to get the wife to help me locate the slot in the needle!

Drooped the clip one notch (to three) and it seems to be really going hard this morning, though I did flood it trying to start it!

Hard to say how much faster it was going, being about 4C this morning.....

I noticed I have to move the clip up or down a notch when the temp increases or decreases more than 20 degrees F. Colder? Set it richer, warmer, leaner.
