[QUOTE="Piomarine, post: 406656, member: 16014"] A new carb kit did the trick! I pulled it disassembled it soaked all the parts in carb cleaner for an hour, blew it all out, reassembled and reinstalled it. Tried to fire it up and nothing...then I remembered to reconnect the fuel line, pumped the tank and fired first pull. It runs so much smoother now. I tried opening up the throttle the listen to it sing, but I got gunshy cause I don't know how high is too high to let it rev (that and I splashed all my water out of the barrel). It is still running a little rich (I think) at WOT but that may just take a large body of water and playing with the high speed adjustment. The PO had done a rebuild but it seems that he tried to reuse some of the old parts with the new kit, or he had an incomplete carb kit. Whatever the case it is running well now and very smooth.
