I would first lap in the valves to see if that helps as this is a simple procedure on that engine. If that doesn't help the compression may be down and must be restored with new rings and maybe a bit of a honing job. I assume you have thoroughly checked out the carburetor for dirt/varnish buildup etc. It may also be that the carb is worn out allowing air to leak in around the throttle shaft or perhaps the idle jet is worn allowing to much fuel to flow at lower speeds. The carb certainly could be suspect as you say the mixture is richer at lower speeds. Let us know what you find! Keith Bauer White Tiger Racing
