Default Runnig Good !!!!!
I have now put almost 70 miles on the ol' jewel and she is running good. The only thing I am concerned about right now is when it is idling it loads up and quits. Luckily it starts right back up. Is a carb rebuild my answer?

float level may be to high, float needle leaking, or just a good old adjustment. if it's rich you should get that fixed soon if you have a new engine. excessive fuel is rough on new cyl.s and pistons.
