EA81: Idle almost non-existent

[MaddCelt]

Up until recently I had not taken the Brat on the freeway. Did a few times but most of my driving was down country roads to and from work.

 

Two weeks ago I started my new career and drive 95% freeway. Getting to 70 and keeping it has not been a problem but the problem begins after I hit the off ramp and come to a stop.

 

At once the idle drops to around 500 RPM and unless I tap the gas it either protests or dies. I looked at the fuel filter and saw that it needed changed. So today I changed both filters. It has more power and get up and go. So I took it on the freeway to see how she acted. When I got to the stations off ramp it idled fine but when I came back home it was back up to it's old tricks.

 

I got home and let her run while I looked over everything and all seems in order. The only things I noticed were a sputter sound from the carb and when I put the air filter back on it the idle got worse and at one point died.

 

So now I'm at a bit of a loss, so here I turned.
