Mediarocker, have you tried adjusting the idle mixture with either a vacuum gauge or tachometer? A rich mixture will give a "rolling" idle. The other question, you it's worse cold, is your choke pull-off working correctly and is it set right?

I fixed all the pictures, 800x600 seems like a happy medium. Sorry for the large pictures. 1. I have a widescreen high resolution monitor (so they look too small, and I'm also a stickler for quality-high-res photos), and 2. I upload them straight off my phone.

I'm actually looking at getting one for my toolbox. I'll do that tomorrow.

My choke pulloff is not working properly. I need to replace that but I can't seem to find the right one for my carb at the parts store.

Why does that not surprise me. If the tag on your carb is missing see if there is a number stamped on the driver's side of the front mounting ear. It will be partial, but may help if the counter monkey can handle a cross reference.
