Thanks for all the thoughts and advice.

The engine was "gone through" before I bought it last year including the fuel tank. I understand now how the carb operates.
It’s still running on both cylinders when it powers back before it stalls. It’s pretty easy to restart.it only smokes when we start it up for the first time.

I’ll check the throttle advance arm, the fuel bowl filter and just start again with fresh fuel. I am running the correct oil mixture. I’m hoping a simply adjustment of the mixture neddle does the trick.

I need to figure out how to post a picture or video to my post. This is a mahogany 14 foot speed at that I built with a neighbor that I’d like to share with the club.

Thanks again.
