Thanks for the advice. I appreciate all suggestions and recommendations. I'm the kind of guy who does a lot of research before turning a screw so I have at least a bit of a game plan -- everything mentioned is on the list now.

The spark advance handle is there and working smoothly--just the tie rod was missing. I had intended to put it back but it's nice to get confirmation of the importance.

I'm a bit confused on something regarding fuel lines. There is hard line with a glass float bowl from the fire wall to the intake manifold. There is a second from the petcock under the dash to the carb. On engine photos on the web, I see engines with only (apparently) the line to the carb and not to the manifold AND photos with both lines. Why the extra line? Important or a kludge that is not really needed? Or...am I misinterpreting?

Thanks
