Default Update on the Ol boy needing help....
Well, I decided to putz in the garage for awhile again and took the carb down to bare bones one more time. Blew everything out, reset the float and reversed the float needle thinking maybe it seated and needed to be in a specific position. Reassembled and sum na bitch, it's running!!! I'm being cautiously optimistic and right now she's running great! We do still have a trust issue that we're working on. Thanks for help guys, I do appreciate it. Geezer

Thanks Steve! I'm a poor SOB and I refused to give the stealer $80.00 an hour to do what I could do myself. I must admit.... gives me a sense of satisfaction.
