Re: Sudden idle problem

Even though it worked just fine before my compression test ?

I disconnected all the fuel lines that day and opened the throttle fully while I cranked it for the compression tests. Is it possible that that somehow did something negative to the carb?

Possible.
Maybe you got something in a bind holding the primaries
open a bit.

What did you use to hold the carb open?
