    Mumbles, You nailed it ! The gas tank only was a 1/4 full. I pumped it up more than before and it started up and it ran until I shut it off. NOW, you are one for one, while it was running, quite a bit of gas was coming out of the top of the priming tower on the the mile master gas tank. I had rebuilt the tank with a complete gasket kit because the old one was shot. Don’t know if I missed something, but I’m so close now to getting this beautiful old motor on the water for the first time in probably 40 years. Any advice ?

    Thanks again, Steve
