Duke:
thx for the explanation. I am at about 52% idle and 57% 2500RPM. I know I am on the lean side. My cold start is within 5 sec of cranking, but seems could be better because I remember it used to be able to start right-up within a second. I have done quite a few things already to make sure everything else are working properly...things that I have learned via the forum and lots of readings, and have resolved quite a few things...rough idle, high idle to name a few.....I will try and adjust the mixture a bit more to the rich side....

thx,
emmy
