OK........Got back to the machine tore it down took off the carbs.....found a flat piece of micro trash half the size of a grain of sand lodged in the pilot jet of the problem carb. Cleaned both carbs and installed an inline clear fuel filter just inside the side panel and added sea foam to the fuel tank. Fired it up, warmed it up, adjusted idle speed, .....It now runs better than new. The engine cranks up and is running with only a half round of start. It idles as smooth as good whiskey!
Thanks to you guys for your info!
Now gonna service and do the 750 BruteF with the filter and sea foam, .....also the belt light just started flashing on it ..so more work in the shop. It has 165 hrs on it and it was taken in to the dealer at the 100 hr belt light flash in which they may have only reset the switch. So the belt may actually need attention now.........I do have a service manual .........But I will appreciate all the info anyone can give on inspecting, adjusting, and getting the drive belt in tip top shape......................Thanks again!
