    Replacing the leather primer washers I haven’t done yet but I am getting ready to send my money out for a pair. I figured I’d try ahead of time while waiting. Explain the low speed packing to me. Otherwise I’ve done everything mentioned.

    I agree though, I think it’s a fuel delivery problem, too. Everything else checks out. I’m trying to think what passages I could have missed on it with cleaner and compressed air. Like I said the carb does appear to fill up (reconditioned float with fuel proof dope) and doesn’t flood so everything bringing fuel to the float chamber should be fine, and float needle seat should be good since it doesn’t overflow. Definitely something to the combustion chamber being dry until I forced fuel in.
