Default RE: BME 50 IDLE
It means you put the carb back together with the diaphragm installed incorrectly.(most likely)
You should never have fuel dripping/trickling out of the carb.
Remove the diaphragm again and if there is a forked end, place the metal piece between the fork. If there is no fork and the diaphragm just rests on it then you either have a stuck metering needle or bent fulcrum arm.

QUESTION? I'm having a little trickle of raw fuel dripping from the ventura at 1700 rpm sustained idle. Does this mean I am still too rich on the low needle? Don't want to over-lean an engine, especially a new one.


Thanks in advance,
