Thanks Jeff for the words of encouragement !
Unless you can get water in the crankcase by washing the outside of the motor with the water hose it probably was dry .. After looking the carb over and studying the diagram there is not really a whole lot to the carb . But then again I could tear up an anvil …To what extent should I tear it down . I took the float bowl cover off . Should I take the float assembly out or just spray everything out good . The same with the needle valve assembly .. There are 2 clean out screws on the bottom of that assembly .. Should I just take those out and spray cleaner in them ..
I just don’t want to screw something up inadvertently..
One thing I noticed was when I took the float cover off there was what looked like a disintegrated cork gasket all gummed up . Looks like the gaskets are fairly new …
I’ll take some pics tomorrow so maybe y’all could give it an assessment….
I know it may be a bit early but what about the water pump assembly . Is there anything I can do to clean it out to make sure there are no obstructions …
And I guess it should be run in a tub of water when the time comes . I have a nice big tub on wheels that I can use …
