In a nut shell...................................................................................................

Wasn't running when I bought it, finally got it fired up, have taken a few test drives, the main problem now seems to be the fuel petcock, that damn valve won't allow enough gas through to keep the engine going, I have to keep the choke on to stay running, you can't buy the part new, so I need to find one.............................................................................

here's a pic after I just arrived home, after buying it, a month or 2 ago....................................................................

Well, I've had it fired up a few times, took it out for a short test-drive, it's starving for gas, have to keep the choke on at least halfway to keep it running, I'm taking a hard look at the fuel tap, about too disassemble it & see if I can get better flow somehow......................................................
