I found a way to get rid of my rough/ low idle that causes the engine to stall some times. this took about five minutes and is extremely easy. the problem was that there was alot of build up on the inside of the throtle.
to fix this i removed the bolts holding the plastic cover on the throttle control. then i loosend the clamps holding the black plastic air intake tube, then i removed it from the intake. i started the engine and since the air intake was disconnected there was a surging idle. i used aerosol carb and choke cleaner to clean the throttle while working it by hand. afet that i put it all back together and it ran fine
