Re: 235 wont idle ?
Idle circuit liklely blocked. You probably have to take the carb apart and clean it.

X2 with the idle screw....if it's to far In you will not have enough gas passing through the idle circuit creating to lean a mixture. Try bringing it out 1 full turn.

Re: 235 wont idle ?
First try to adjust idle then check timing and also check for any vacuum leaks. Carb has a gasket below the bowl that tends to become loose and lets air in. They're very easy to rebuild if you want to take a stab at it.
