82 GS550 won't cold start or fast idle.

[cfay02]

82 GS550 needed ether to cold start. Found problem, the wells in the float bowls that the brass tube for fuel enrichment circuit sits in also have a tiny hole at the bottom about .006 in diameter were plugged. I cleaned them out with a guitar string then blew out with carb cleaner. Reassembled and starts cold with fast idle now too. Chuck.

Fast idle? Is this a good thing or are you looking for help?

That works, too, but that is why I soak the float bowls when I soak the carb bodies during a carb rebuild.
