Hello
Could someone please tell me how to adjust the idle air mixture on the 4 carbs on the F80? Do I need any special tools to help? How will I know if the mixture is too lean or too rich?
Also, how do I adjust the remote control's throttle and gear cable linkage? Is there a proper procedure for this?
I have the tool and know how to sync the carbs. But the F80 has hard time maintaining idle, drops to 500 rpms, often backfires and many times cuts out. The mechanic thinks it is always carb #1 that backfires and needs adjustment. Another issue is the throttle and gear cable linkage: I cannot engage forward or reverse smoothly, there is a "clunk" noise and a **** if I do it fast, and if I do it slowly the engine will cut out. The mechanic messed with the two cables adjustment screws (throttle and gear) and I believe they are now out of sync.
many thanks
