This is about my 31 A. All stock, unmodified. It is in my metal building and not my driver right now. I do start it up and run it around the block every 4-6 weeks, just to keep things working. Even with this things varnish up and require removing the carburetor cleaning it etc.
This time after cleaning it (also a new needle valve) it starts right up runs fine for 5-10 seconds, then seems to run out of gas and dies. I let it sit for a minute or two and the same thing happens. Starts right up then dies in a short period of time. Removed the carb, cleaned it all well, needle valve works with a blow or suck upright and over. Good fuel free flow from the line. The float level has not changed. Puzzles me! Any suggestions? thanks Bruce
