Thanks Dan. The carburetor was a rebuild, but the idle system not working. This carburetor it´s very easy to rebuild, i dont understand the problem. The problem is not permanent and the main metering system works very well..

Transient problems like this suggest there's dirt or corrosion in some of the very small idle passages in your carb. You may want to try using a spray can of carburetor cleaner to backflush the two idle air bleeds (one small and one tiny) that face the sky; you can see them on the front wall of the carb throat once you remove the air cleaner.

I'm not sure what part you mean by "idle well". Can you show us in one of the pictures?

SL6 CHILE,

On page 13 of the 1920 manual, figure 6 shows a picture of the idle well. You can pull the screws holding the economizer body (see figure 8a) in place and clean out the passage way with a piece of 10 to 12 pound nylon fishing line and blow it out with carb cleaner. If that doesn't work and you hit a some blockage use a guitar string. That should clear up your problem.

That brass tube should not move. It should be solidly fixed in place.
