RE: [doc] idle problems further info

["Richard Hutchinson" <dickyh11@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The flap should indeed be quite hard to push, both during and after
running (for about ten minutes - this is a sign of a good accumulator).

It the mixture has been played with, it may well be running too lean.
Since you can't get it to tick over, it's going to be difficult to do a
gas test, so try nipping the mixture screw clockwise (3mm hex key).
Don't over do it - an eighth of a turn is a lot. Try and make a note of
how much you turned it, so you can go back if need be.

Alternatively this can be a sign of a duff CPR. I think that was
suggested in reply to your very first post ;)
