    I purchased the engine on Ebay many years ago. It was shipped in a homemade box, well constructed with the tank secured in the bottom of the box. It appeared to be in "new" condition and owned by someone who really treasured it. The box was made for storage, not shipping, but it survived well.
    The tank also appears pure. I haven’t tried to run the engine until now. It started on 16/1 ofter about 10 pulls. However it only seemed to run until the carb went dry.
    I have pulled the carb and intake to inspect the rubber check valve because i thought it was not pressurizing the tank. I also replaced the 0 rings on the connecter, as you said looking for the simpler things. I sprayed the carb with B-12 even though it looked brand new. I will remove the filter from the glass bowl, check the gasket and reassemble the intake and carb. I will then do all the tests you speak of.
    I really appreciate your help.
