Billy G Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I know on my jiffy there is a idle screw to adjust, look where your throttle cable goes to on the carb gunner55 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartmanMN Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 You should see a screw connected to the throttle cable. Tighten it up a little bit, but not so much that it spins the bit. Billy G 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbymalone Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 when you say you recently got it, does that mean it's brand new? might just need to finish a break-in period. I might hesitate to start making adjustments on a brand new machine that isn't broken in yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
