1st question is about the idle. never had a problem all winter but now it will idle really low around a thousand or less. runs fine when it is moving. just when I stop for a minute I have to give it throttle. I did adjust the the idle screw and that brought it up and replace the plugs (they looked fine maybe little rich). Any ideas on why the idle would just drop all of a sudden and/or what to look at.

2nd question is for the rear suspension. I was going to work on it this spring and can't remember what to replace the rear spring and maybe shock with. I thought it was a venture but I could be wrong.

Thanks for any input, Jason

what's probably happening is it's getting late in the season and temps are
rising more then what it was in the beginning of the winter so as temps rise
jetting gets richer thus idle goes down.

you need to just idle it up more,then back down next year when temps are
colder.
