I am working on a 371xp that idles fine if I lay it on it's clutch side, but won' t idle right if it sits on it's base as it normally would. The idle will slowly creep from 2600+/- to 4000+/- and then when I stab throttle it has very lean bog until I rev several times and it returns to normal. Then it will repeat it over again. If I let it sit and idle it will eventually die. However, if I "rev out" it will clean up and it's good for another 20-30 seconds. It runs great at high rpm. I can set tune to conservative 12500rpm My guess is crank seals, but I don't get why being on it's side would make a difference. What would be the symptoms of gas tank vent? Any thoughts?
