Hopefully someone here can point me where to look for this.
This was my grandfather's motor. It sat on a stand in his basement for many years. Never got used much. 5 or 6 years ago, my dad and I rebuilt the carb and had it running great. We ran it totally out of gas and it's been back on the stand ever since.
Now I'd like to use it. It starts easily and runs good for a couple minutes then tapers off and dies once it warms up a little. It will restart but only for a few seconds. I've tried moving the choke to every point, tried adjusting the rich/lean knob through the whole range, tried giving it a little shot of starting fluid and made sure carb to intake nuts are tight. No change. Tried giving it more throttle once it starts tapering off. The only thing that makes a difference is letting the motor go back to a cold state, then it will run fine for a couple minutes again.
Can someone please give me a little guidance with this?
