One thing I noticed though, is it tends to stall when I turn a corner, and idle down. I wonder if is just idle speed, carb float level, or maybe vapor lock from heating up on a 100+ day.
Any ideas?

However, I would certainly check the float level. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 725 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 725 | Float level gets my vote! | | | | | Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 583 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 583 | Could be a loose or frayed electrical wire problem.

I'd probably check the coil wire connections first.
Good luck!
