My 2000 400EX runs fine but if it idles for about 10 seconds or longer and then you go to throttle it, it dies. Restarts at the touch of the button but whats a fix or/and cause for this? Increase idle? I have noticed that it idles slower than my bud's Warrior. Any help is appreciated.

there is a screw that messes around with the idle, we had to move it for my 440 to use, i think it is the big, flat head screw below the carb, i think.
