Good Info guys!

I have an update, before I went to work I tried to get it to fire up. I set the controls like normal starting. Spark fully retarded - Gas Lever two clicks down- GAV 1 turn out Fuel on - Pull Choke and release - no start.

I decided to the put the gas lever all the way down and tried again and got it to start.

It ran for about 5 minutes as I adjusted the gas lever back to normal 3 o'clock position for idle. It then died out on me and I couldn't get it to fire again.

Then I had to run to work.

Seems like I need to do some finer adjustments and maybe clean out the carbs?

Thoughts always appreciated.
