It runs fairly well now that i have the carb adjusted. Still, when cold it still needs a few extra pulls. I am amazed at how long this engine runs after disconnecting from the fuel tank.
I seem to remember issues like this with later 4hps…The choke plate may have relief hole(s) that are a bit too big. I hesitate prescribing plugging one of the holes, you sure don’t want solder or whatever falling out and getting sucked through the reeds. It is not a good idea to attempt removing the choke plate either….You don’t want those screws (that are peened over now) to fall out and go through the engine either.
And yes, seems like forever to stall with the fuel hose removed….
Try advancing the throttle past the “start” position for cold starts…
