Carburetor Problems
Last night I took the air cleaner off and sprayed carburetor cleaner in the carb and around it. This morning when I went to start it, it took forever to start. Now it idles extremely fast. I don't know much about carburetors, so maybe you guys have some info on this problem. Braxton

Carburetor Problems
You might have caught the choke linkage on the air cleaner when you put it back on. You need to remove it and take a look at whats holding the linkage up.
