Default RE: i seriously think my wasp idle is retarded

I tend to agree about the Needle settings. If you are running lean, the engine idle will creep up. Also, like Savage Dias said, gently tap the brakes. If the idle goes back down, then your linkage is not adjusted right. The servo should close the throttle all the way when you let go. I had to adjust my linkage WAY out running my SH .28 and an 18T CB. That is when the adjustment is there. When you get further away from your linkage (The screw near the frame) by using different engines or Clutch bells, you need to adjust for that. Do your best to make sure that the screw that holds the linkage is all the way tight and then backed off a 1/16 turn. Also, that linkage should be parallel and perpendicular (The 90 degree elbow) when your servo is centered and your engine is at idle. If it is not, adjust the linkage so that it is.
