It's not bad at all......I did it in like a half hour.......I'm not saying this will definitely cure his problem I'm just saying I had a similar problem with the same symptoms and that's how I fixed mine......Not hard to do...

Sten...

Yes I am still having the problem and I do use a pre-filter skin. I will go back to a paper filter and see if that makes a difference. The thing is I have been running in very dusty trails for over a year and only now started having idle problem.

did you at least look into what I told ya.......It's worth a try......It doesn't take much grime in the TB to cause idle troubles......

Yes I plan on cleaning the TB but also go back to a paper filter and see if it stop the dirt and fixes the idle problem for good. Thanks for your help!
