I had a stripped bolt on the engine and had to remove the carby to repair. Then I noticed…..no gaskets on either side of carby. Will ring mechanic who cleaned and overhauled my engine.
Would lack of gaskets cause higher idle or erratic idle?
i installed a 22 h.p. b and s vanguard in my max 2 . first time out on the trails at busco in 80 deg. temps . , after a while the engine would bog down and miss . sat awhile and it was good till it heated up again then same thing . finally added a fan to pull the heat out and that took care of it . it mostly happens in warm weather when i'm riding strong thru mud and up hills etc. probably should have bought a kholer ! but around the farm here it's fine without the fan . johnboy va.
Yes I expect vacuum leak but what symptom. Put homemade gasket in and idle has dropped a little but so has top end speed. Will now fiddle with adjustment tab.
Southwestern Ont Can about 5 miles from Lake Huron just north of the town of Goderich.

As I don't run my argo for much more than 1/2 hrs at a time (due to no where to actually ride) overheating is not that much of a concern. ......yet. So I have ordered a 7in automotive rad fan. I will mount that in the cooling intake duct. I have already moved the oil cooler to that area but bolted to the engine. I also don't have a recoil start because it didn't have one when I bought the engine. Engines with the recoil start will have a restricted area of air flow as oppossed to the open area like my engine. I may get a recoil and carry it with tools needed to mount it in case of starter or battery issues. Probably not till I should have. You know, woulda, shoulda, coulda. Really hope you get your carb issues sorted out. When I went to briggs school we were told 80% of small engine problems are fuel related with 90% carb issues. These small engines can be real hair pullers....as evidence of the old chrome dome.
I put in gaskets, all good but…..I tried some fiddling. Previously it would top out at 16mph. This is slow so I straightened out my governor/throttle linkage. It went to 23mph but idle went to 1400rpm. Bent it back to where I think it was before and now 1100rpm but max13mph. Suggestions to not effect idle but increase top speed?
