ok i replaced the bearings and seals and fired it up, and it starts fine and idles yee haw, but its short lived, i take it around the yard and come back to me and it stalls, ok i turn the idle up and try again same thing, it will sit there and idle all day but when i open it up and stop fast it dies, any help
 
Check the spacing on your coil, the gap may be off if it is use a business card to set the gap, push down firmly when tightening u should have to wiggle the card out but not ripping it. If thats not it check the plug. Hope this helps good luck.
 
that doesn't sound like an air leak. it sounds like your to rich(?).. it idles fine? and i would think your idle screw is pretty far in, yet still idling ok? pull the idle screw out, lean out the low side.(the idle will raise, but thats fine for now) lean it out till stays running off the throttle, then adjust the idle screw. do small adjustments(1/16 turn in)your going to have to do a plug chop to make sure its not too lean. did you change anything before this started happening? like a pipe or carb?
