Okay, I'm with you....but I'm still missing something (probably VERY basic):
Let's say that the motor requires "x" amount of fuel when at idle cold, and let's say needs "x/2" when idle warm.
When I crack the throttle at cold to get going - let's say that requires "2*x" of fuel - the motor hiccups almost to the point of stalling, regardless of clutch lever position.
If this was a screen or filter issue, would it then make sense that 'anytime' - warm or cold - I needed "2*x" amount of fuel the motor would at least burp?
Again, I am NOT being willfully ignorant here, I am just not getting it.
Thanks,
Steve
