Sounds like classic case of carb-flooding- could be dirt in
needle-valve, or corroded (thus sinking) float, mostlikely.

Carb-kit time.

Got the float and the cab kit here locally (Roy Boys, Tigard , OR)
and some
great advice from the parts counter guy about removing the old jet
and reseating the new one.

First time I ever played with the insides of a carb.

It now runs perfectly.

Thanks to all who helped with the diagnosis and
pointing to the float.

Drained fuel out of the old float for about a half hour.

Sixteen bucks in parts, supported a local merchan, avoided
a $ 75.00 labor bill and leared a new skill.


That's what we like to hear.
