Engine slow to idle

[mz6vicky]

I have a skorpion sport cup...took a 17 mile ride and when returning I noticed when I let off the gas to come to a stop the engine
didn't want to slow down for about 8 seconds. When I pulled into my driveway going up a steep hill I thought it might cut out...
when I got to a stop and let it idle in about 5 seconds it did cut out. It was like it was out of gas or flooded. Should I just get the
carbs cleaned or is it running too rich ? It was fine for the first 15 miles....

I'd start with a carb cleaning. When I bought my Traveller, it didn't want to run well after sitting up for a while in the owner's garage.
Rough idle, stumbling at speed.
Lots of trash in the float bowl filter.
Good luck,

Also check the cables to make sure they are moving freely. A stuck choke would produce similar symptoms.

could also be an air leak between carb and cylinder, the rubber boots, michael
