    you might still be running a little rich and you might want to check your glow plug the break in process ruins them. same thing happened to me it was the glow plug.

    Welcome to BYT bdaddy!

    Is it a linkage/idle stop issue? When you apply the brake, is it closing off the carb completely or is it leaving a small gap (idle setting) open? No holes or cuts in any fuel lines?

    yup you could be too lean and not have enough fuel reaching the engine in time.
