I had hard starting and running problems as this motor has been stored in a greenhouse with Stabil run through it but the carbs not drained.
I ran carb cleaner through it and then a cam of sea foam at about a 4 to 1 ratio. I adjusted the idle screw in 2.5 turns and now it runs pretty well
and idles. At warm it starts immediately at idle and holds for as long as I run it. The problem is increasing RPM's. As I bring up the fast/choke
lever the vertical choke arm comes down, sending in a rich fuel mixture that bogs the engine as I increase. When I let off on the lever about .5",
the choke lever goes back up and the engine increases rpm's slightly and smooths out. Could this be a problem with the celonoid that the choke
arm comes out of? If anybody has any thoughts I would appreciate your help. Thanks.
