Possible causes:
- Bad or loose ignition switch. Take the switch out and wiggle the bakelite body, if loose, tighten the fingers using a blunt punch and hammer, re-install.
- Carburetor adjusted incorrectly. Adjust the air screw located by the throttle linkage, turn screw in till it seats, back off 1-1/2 turns, start engine. If idle is low, adjust throttle idle screw till engine idles 450-500 rpm.
- Once engine is at operating temperature, make final air screw adjustment. Turn air screw left or right till you get fastest idle speed. Turn screw right till engine just starts to slow down, then turn left until engine just starts to slow down. Turn screw to middle of adjustment slow points.
