Hello Grumpy, I did your trick to test fuel flow, I am happy that it is OK.

I soaked the carb for a day in fuel ,then sprayed all the openings and galleries with carb cleaner.
I payed more attention to emulsifier, I see what you mean now about gum. I put an oxy tip cleaner through the middle and each time I had to wipe it clean with a rag. (I thought it was clean)

Put it all back together: engine starts first pull, when I take it off choke it stays running now, it will run on fast, slow and idle.
But it is running like a hairy goat, missing on all speeds.

So, I have to get a bit more serious with cleaning this carb.
I will buy some of those jet drills.

It takes brain power and time to respond to my threads, thanks


Happy is he who penetrates the mystery of things.
