What is the brand name on your clone?
I have a 16hp "Power Mate". Sitting beside my buddies Honda you can't tell the difference except for the color. I know I'm gonna catch it over this
My motor does fine for what I need it for and I know you Honda guys are going to hang me but for the money I decided to gamble on it.
The idle on my motor is sensitive but bearable and it adjusts on the rear of the carb....black knob under the airbox.
Good Luck and welcome,
Bryan
