Dirt/debris in the idle circuit, take carb apart and blow out all the jets. Check float level and reassemble carb.

However, ever once in a while you can get lucky and clear it by revving it up and capping your hand over the carb inlet , choking it, and it may suck the trash on through. Good Luck.

Re: Wont idle well?
Check for vacuum leak. Carb base and intake manifold. With engine running....Spray brake cleaner around suspected leak areas, (but not around carb intake.) If a change in RPMs, you have found your leak.
