1987 Establishment P30 starts but dies in idle

I have a 1987 Establishment P30. It will start and run, but as soon as I take my foot off the gas it stalls out. It started during a trip when I began to lose power going up a hill. Things got better ...

My guess also is dirt in the idle circuit. One more thing I didn't see Wes cover. Make sure the idle-stop solenoid is working on the carb. The throttle linkage rests against this while idleing with the key on. Retracts with key off further closing the throttle to prevent dieseling.


I found the idle stop solenoid and it's not even wired! It's as if the previous owner by-passed it. I guess I'll have to dig for a wiring diagram............
