    Starts and rides but will not idle, when the throttle is held in one place, the revs go up and down and still will not idle, any ideas on what it could be!!

    checked all things mentioned and all seem fine, i have sent my carb off to be cleaned with a air compression kit, it may be blocked deep inside where i cannot reach. (I HOPE!)

    I am running the standard carb as far as I am aware, the main jet is 83 if that helps.
