My sd220 will only idle at 500-600 rpm with about 1/4 choke no more no less. So I tried the idle screw and
nothing. I turned it all the way in and it still stayed at 500 rpm. It been like those since I bought it.
But the other day my starter quit and I took the manifold off to get to it easier. I reassembled and went
to start it and a quarter choke bumped the key and ran like a top. So set the rpm at 900rpm. Ran like this
for a week. I noticed it was low gas so I put 5 gallons in and put it away for the night. Next morning I
went to start it and it was back its old games. I cleaned the fuel filter thinking I stirred some dirt in
the tank, but was fine. I found vacuum leak but I tightened it some more it pretty much sealed, but still
leaks a tad but it better. But it still run 500rpm and rich. So what would be the cause?
