I can not for the life of me get my 359 to idle..i took it apart to port it and the muffler, had a small problem with the exhuast port(little too high, but not sure how much) so i took the base gasket out and used ...i think it's rtv gasket maker..... and now if it's cold it will fire right up and idle decently, maybe a little rough for like 30 seconds then rpms drop and dies..when it warms up, it just goes to idle-ish rpm then rpm drops till it dies. no matter what i adjust the carbor idle to, it does this all day. and i know it will idle because i had done the port job before the muffler and it idled all day, but i went back in and now this...pisses me off and wears me out:censored: ..i live near sea level i think within few hundred feet. i am almost at the point where i am gonna just ask a dealer to rake all my money and tune it or get someone else to....it's only just over a year old.....please help me!!!
