thanks for additional comments, I am gonna try new o-rings this evening and the throttle cable is good but I didnt check the idle screw...you never know, the salvage yard I bought the motor from tested the motor for compression and such, perhaps they messed with the idle screw. Will look at all this this evening...if I am blessed enough for it to be this simple....I might finally have this thing on the road.....I'll let yall know.
