Question 1
Every now and then when I'm sitting at a stop light my idle gets low and the engine vibrates, just a carb setting?

I'm thinkin' maybe carb rebuild time (float ain't floatin' so good) or possible ignition wires are on there way out or spark plugs are fouling up,,,maybe time for a good general tune up.

The 1406 is about a year old and the plugs are new, I'm scratching my head on this one.

Possible water in fuel,,add some dry gas. Pull carb top and /or filter and inspect for water.

Is the engine running hotter than normal? I'm thinkin' vaper lock (fuel boiling).

Temp seems normal. It's a new engine, 1500 miles on it, does that mean anything?
