[DML] Re: Idle speed searching



Before you do a fuel adjustment, check for an often over looked 
vacuum leak at the air filter - the crankcase breather. Check the 
hoses and the seal around the plastic insert, etc. Too much leakage 
in that area can affect the idle-speed-motor's ability to "keep up" 
with the moving air-plate that meters the fuel - thus the hunt.
