Technical question: My 1978 Yamaha 500 4-stroke off road bike will not idle when it is warmed up, it stalls when coasting down hill. When applying the throttle it runs good, no hesitation or cutting out. I´ve cleaned the carb, it does tend to foul spark plugs. I´ve asked around some and I´m hearing that this is typical for this bike. Technical help appreciated.
