will it stay running w/ the throttle? what is it idling at for rpms if it will stay running at all. it should be around 1150. if not turn it up a little. another thing is to make sure the etc is set right on the throttle. it should have about an 1/8" free play in the throtle before it starts to pull on the cable.
