[QUOTE="Weldorthemagnificent, post: 432724, member: 22139"] Check to see if there is a oil return line on that model. If there is it will come from the shifter side of the motor to down low under the carb on the front. This line draws oil/fuel up from pooling by the lower bearing and back into the head. If the line is old and hard, or cracked, it might be periodically sipping air causing a lean condition at idle and it won't help fuel pump impulse either. I had a motor with this problem and had just about pulled out all my hair before I found it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
