Is it OK to have 30 degrees of advance at idle?
30 degrees BTDC at idle is very excessive unless you are checking the timing with the vacuum advance connected to full manifold source at the time. Your timing (both initial and Total mechanical) is checked and set with the vacuum advance disconnected and plugged.
What does it mean when your car idles for a long time?
The idle of a car engine is kind of like a human heartbeat: You can tell what shape it’s in just by listening. Problems with idle speed —things like slow idle, fast idle, rough idle, or stalling after idling for a few seconds—are symptoms that something is wrong with your engine.
Why does my Weedeater die when I throttle up?
I can understand your dilemma with the engine dying. It sounds like the low speed idle screw is set two lean and that’s why it stumbles and die’s when you throttle up. The problem is it requires a special adjustment tool to adjust the needle mix screws on the carburetor.
When to use idle mode on a chainsaw?
A chainsaw engine has three basic modes, i.e. working, idle, and stop. We need the idle mode to be activated when we take a minor interval between two cuts. The idle mode is important as it disengages the engine from running the saw chain.

What to do if your car dies while idling?
Engage the parking brake, start the engine, and let it idle. Pop the hood open. Wiggle the battery cables, including the small wire that connects to the car’s body, if your vehicle has one. If the engine shuts off and the headlights stop working while you do this, you are dealing with a loose, corroded or frayed cable or wire.
Is the warrior Idles fine when trying to accelerate?
The warrior idles fine. I’ve adjusted to air mix screw back and forth. It changes the idol but doesn’t seem to improve things when I try to rev it up. 2.25 turns seems to be the sweet spot, as far as idol. The needle is where zoom put it.
