Update:Re: Low rpm problem

[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

Yesterday I richened the fuel a quarter turn and the power increased, but 
....
The car seems to hunt A LOT. From 1000 rpm at idle to 200-300 then back up, 
surging if you will.
I am going to replace the air filter in a while to see if that helps at all.

On top of the low RPM/stall.

Soon I'll be as frustrated as Cath..... (who turned down my suggestion by 
the way  :)

You guys have come up with a few good ideas for me to check. Any others to 
add?
