    Carburator issues

    Carburator issues

    Timing looks fine.. I'm going to try and replace the floats just in case they have become saturated. If that doesn't work i'm going to buy a new carb for it. I'd appreciate some recomendations, as i have a big trip planned for thanksgiving and i want to get her running ASAP. Thanks Fred
