My 74 Super won't idle or hold a speed. Compression is good, I adjusted the valves to .06 this morning, and adjusted the points. I rebuilt the carb about a week ago and still no luck. I have followed the instruction I have seen here on RAMVA, in Muir's book, and various other websites. How can I tell if my carb is bad? It fires up very quickly, and will run indefinitely as long as I keep feathering the accelerator. If I hold it in one spot, it will slowly die. If I try to let it idle, it dies. The two adjustment screws on the side have been adjusted by turning the smaller one out 2.5 to 3 turns and then fiddling with the big one to try to get an idle. Any help would be appreciated.
