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

 Also check your idle mixture screw. If all else fails, Clarks sells a good book by Bob Helt on those turbo carbs. They can be a pain sometimes.Paul Fox

 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.
