I doubt that there's a problem with the enricher considering it's age. If it is idling at 1800 now, after enricher shuts off, I'd leave it alone....as long as the rear tire isn't starting to turn, (this usually starts at 2000+ rpm's).

As long as it's starting, idling, and running decent, go ahead and put a thousand miles on it, check your valves again at around 500 miles, do a few oil changes, let it loosen up a bit.

If at all possible, find a gas station that has non ethanol gas, and use it exclusively. It may cost you $.70 more a week to run it, but will save you a bunch of headaches down the road.

PS: Just noticed you are near the coast.....most marinas have non ethanol....at least they do up here in the Finger Lakes Area.
