I can get the high end pretty set fairly well, but the low end seems like it's all over the place. It pulsates and won't idle at all without glow power.
I checked every plug and they all work fine.
Any thoughts?
As mentioned previously, check your carb. Might need a re-build. The stock carb is *bad*, but not THAT bad. If the high-end at least holds steady and you get decent RPM's then it seems like the engine itself and the valves are set OK I would think.
