    Tubs, I pulled the carb again yesterday, confirmed that this Carter
    Model N, N752 is correct for this motor.
    Also pulled the poppet valve cover back off , pulled out the poppets,
    and inspected the new o-rings from Russ. Looked good to me, and appear
    to seat good.
    After putting it back together, it was running better, but still having
    issues with speed changes. If I left the speed steady, it seemed like
    it would run forever.
    I ran it for about 40 minutes total, and it died a few times during
    speed changes, but I always managed to get it restarted, usually
    after chocking it a little.
    It has new crank seals, but I wished I would have checked the top
    seal for leaks the last time I had the motor half way apart.
