So, I cleaned the carburetor again. It has great fuel flow. I ran gas out into a container to look at it. The cylinder to crankcase gaskets seem to be good. The carb gasket is about the consistency of hard brittle plastic. So I put a thin coat of RTV on both sides . To get it to start I ha e to screw the low speed jet in. then once it starts, run it out till it smooths out. Along with retarding the timing a bit. This is my first motor where I have to control the timing and all the other things! It’s amazing how far motors have come! Thank god for throttle and timing linkages!!! Anyway I got it to run, but it’s pretty finicky. I have a feeling I’m still not doing it correctly .
