Speedfight 3 Rough Idling.

Hello,

When accelerating on my ped to roughly 6500 i let go of the throttle and the ped idles at 4500 for roughly a minute then occasionally drops to 2k rev's, sometimes it accelerates and idles perfectly. I have noticed this ever since the carb has been cleaned, would i have to set the carb up again?

Yes, sounds like you didnt adjust the mixture right, also check for airleaks

Adjusted the fuel mix and idle screw and ran perfectly, however went to go and start it today and it would start then cut out after a few seconds and would just repeat this process.

Any suggestions?

Did you adjust the mixture when it was warm, if you did then i would be checking the auto choke
