<VV> YH Carb on my 1963 Spyder won't idle.

[Frank DuVal]

Have you turned up the idle speed screw?

Have you checked fuel pressure?

It's little hard to start but will idle fine when it does eventually start. After driving a bit and parking for an hour or two, it may require a puff of ether to get going but will not idle. Driving on a highway at 65 plus, she sails right along. If I put her in neutral and coast, the RPM drops and shuts off, restarting instantly when I put it in gear and let out the clutch.
