Where is the Idle screw located on this carb? Is it the screw with a spring behind it just below the stepper motor? Last time I adjusted a carb was about 10 years ago (motorcycle carb).
Thanks for your help.
If you take the back cover off, the screw is literally right behind the center support. You can force a screw driver into the area or drill a small hole through that support for better access. If you operate the throttle with the motor off, you can see the stop tap the screw which you are going to adjust. If you mess with the throttle while the generator is off, just return it back to its open position. When turning the generator off, it opens the throttle to aid in starting it. There is a tension spring under the head of the screw.
Let me know. This info was provided by the professor some time ago when attempting to address another issue. I have made use of the adjustment to address harder start applications.
