For a month or so, but more so today, I've noticed the idle dropping
to a few hundred rpm at stop lights. A little accelerator tweaking and
I'm back in business. My idle is usually 1000 or so -- seems to keep
my Kent cam happy. I've had plenty of crap in the fuel sediment bowl,
but it's clean now. Any suggestions?*

3000 miles on engine rebuild, Kent cam, oversized pistons/liners,
carbs weren't rebuilt during engine rebuild (had been "rebuilt" a
couple years ago under DPO regime). Otherwise, stock.

*I'm thinking crap in carbs, float level, something like that.
