    Actually figured out my issue on the last post, my needles were a little loose and the packing nuts were not tight enough so I was leaking fuel and probably air through them.  Look at that puppy purr now!

    Still have the issue of needing to pump the bulb every 30 seconds or so to keep the bowl full.  Any recommendations on that? I was not sure on the fuel line sizes and worry some might be to big for the fitting.  Or maybe just need a more full tank?

    Seriously thank you all for who have helped me out thus far.  I was near giving up, great to a have a community that supports these ole’ engines.
