yes.. but the engine would still not quit most likely right? the fact that if i adjust the knob all the way down.. and the engine will quit.. i guess i am trying to figure out if that is normal behavior (before i continue going down the adjustments and whatnot).

I know for a fact i need to do a valve adjustment, and the motor mounts should be dealt with too. But, i just want to make sure that is normal operation before i begin..

just replaced the fuel filters, air filter, and oil change+filter.
