Hi Greg,
Certainly the flywheel is much heavier on your Ambo, but you
might want to check to see that the cent. advance mechanism is lubed up
& free to move. If your throttles are closing fine a hanging advance
will cause an engine to idle fast. Just pull the cap and give a twist to
the rotor to see if it springs back ok.
Hope this helps,

Having been on the Quota all summer, the first thing I noticed when I took the Ambassador out for a ride was that it took much longer for the engine to return to idle compared to the Quota. This is true either while riding in gear or when blipping the throttle out of gear. Is this completely normal and due to the weight of the flywheel keeping things in motion? Alternatively, is it an indication of wear or that I don't have things set up correctly? Regards, Greg Bender 1971 Ambassador 2000 Quota http://www.thisoldtractor.com/gtbender |
