.020 Over
Original owner purchased July 2004 one of first 200 in the USA. !8 years of trouble free service 35,00 miles. last 240 mile
ride was Oct. 2021. Always garaged and put on battery tender. Started up on Jan. 2022 and noticed no cold start high idle just 650 RPM steady. Ran for 15min revved up a few times shut down and put back to sleep. Cold started again in April noticed sluggish start 2 tries fired up again no high cold idle. Revved up ok and steady idle at 650. Started in Sept. battery turned motor over 1/2 revolution and crapped. Jumped off of car lots of cranking engine coughing sputtering backfiring while rolling open and closing throttle rapidly to keep running. Close throttle idle goes to 300 RPM and stalls. So I figured 5 year old battery needs replacement and maybe stale gas. Drained tank filled with fresh fuel and replaced battery. Cranks fine but still have will not run problem. Engine surges stumbles backfires will not idle at all when throttle is closed. No check engine light. Help needed!! Suggestions welcomed Thank you.
