Just goes to show to keep an open mind when troubleshooting.

Not sure why you want to idle at 400rpm?

You're so right, can't believe it wasn't carb related after all LOL. I don't idle at 400rpm, but I also didn't want it stalling right below idle speed. I've got it set to idle when fully warm at 700rpm, but if I'd set the gap to 700rpm(.006"), then it would stall the second it started to go below that. I guess I could've set it to .005"(mathematically stable down to 550rpm), but my gauges go from .006-.004", no .005" feeler gauge. I guess what I did, was give myself a 300rpm buffer zone below idle speed, as a precautionary measure.
