    Have you checked the compression on the cylinders> Low compression will make it difficult to start and it won’t idle very well. It also seems to be running rich to me. Also, running these things in a barrel can make them choke on their own exhaust. You might try setting up a fan. Beyond that, these are well-made reliable motors. My go-to motor is my grandfather’s old TN-26. I love it!
