@DannoXYZ I also feel like it would help to fix the carb first before messing with valves. A valve issue would make the engine run poorly in general, not just at idle RPMs right? I just want to fix problems and do maintenance incrementally instead of trying to attack every problem I see.

It would also be cheaper and easier to start with the carb. Unless the valves are the most plausible thing to be causing this idle problem, I'm thinking that's the best place to start. What do you think?
