Well, I put some gas in her and she fired on the first pull!! Pretty amazing for a 69 year old motor. There were a few problems. The shut-off valve on the bottom of the tank leaks unless I open the stop-cock all the way, and if I hold the prime lever more than a few seconds, gas runs out the top of the carb where the float pin comes through. Should I adjust the prime lever so it doesn’t push the float pin all the way down? Not quite sure how that should be adjusted. But for a first try, I’m happy!
