If I feather the gas while pushing in the clutch and pressing brake pedal I can manage. I just changed sparkplugs and cleaned off the rotor. Still no help also increased the idle. When this trip finally ends I will pull off the carb and spray it clean. Getting frustrated. Just wondering if I am overlooking an obvious.

This is a 235 single carb stock engine.

Would adjusting the valves do any good?

Did it run fine before spark plug change and rotor cleaning?
