  • F4A won't idle

    I have a yamaha f4a that has been sat for a while which doesn't idle. The throttle needs to be kept around or above the start position to keep the motor running.

    I cleaned out the Carb and removed the jets apart from the smaller one as I didn't have a screw driver small enough. The engine doesn't seem to be running as rough but it still won't idle. Does anyone have any suggestions on what the issue may be?

    I would think the smaller one would be the idle jet.

    but running the whole carb thru a heated sonic cleaner would be my thought.
