    Wow! I may as well ask another from you…. fuel is leaking when running out of the shaft that the choke is adjusted with. I Tightened what I believe is sometimes called the “packing nut” and it got better but still has a slow drip. I haven’t pulled the shaft out before. Is there a gasket in there?
    I also have fuel seeping seeming through the threads of a couple studs on the bottom of the crankcase! Any idea ideas why? I remember seeing passages in the crankcase between the block and crankcase….
