The zook all of a sudden doesn't idle. It dies when I stop. Sparks have been done no less than 1 month ago. Getting quite sick of it. What could it be? I just serviced it yesterday (Oil change and Filter).

Cheers

The idle jet in the standard carb is stupidly small and easily gets clogged. Clean the carb out and blow through the jets. Then fit a second fuel filter between the fule pump outlet and the carb inlet. Often the diaphram of an old pump starts to fall apart letting bits of rubber into the fuel lines.
