its in the owners manual, thats a whole lot cheaper than a dealer looking at it in the first instance

I find it hard to believe it was idling fine.. it should have been super rich... you didnt have to hold the throttle up to keep it running? and...the so called mechanics should have watched the freakin video, it slowly recovered , definatly not an ignition issue or it would have jumped up in rpm when the dead cylinders started firing again..

Video?
Is it a primer or carb plates?

Its a primer, and it idled rough like a drag car with a cam, but it never loaded up and died.

Here's the after video. Only thing that changed is the primer lever. The slow take off was just me easing into the pedal.

That was a round about way to tell a story

Yes, but like I said, when I was trying to find the answer online I found a ton of people with the same problems that never got to a resolution. Their posts always just end with no answer. Now if someone does a Google search like I did, they will find this. It might help someone save a bunch of time and money.
