Got a rather frustrating issue w/ my 1010. I can't get the engine to go below 1200 RPM. If I try to, it'll die on me. If I run it around 1200 RPM, I have to pull the choke every 10 or so seconds to keep it from dying. I thought it was the carb, but we cleaned that out today and it still has the issue. I've tried adjusting the idle screw and the load adjustment, no change. I've made a few minor changes to the throttle linkage, but I can't really check anything because as soon as it tries to go below 1200 RPM it'll die on me. Also, the engine sounds almost like its gurgling when the rpm is 1300 or lower. Any idea what's going on?
