What'd I do??
All-right. It works, ran 5 tanks through it. Turned out I had to open the needle valve more, 5.5 turns plus primer seemed to do the trick. I'm not able to start it consistently with my gloved finger, it likes to flip flop, running forward then backward but never passing compression. Bumping the engine with the starter does the trick. I got a lot of gray oil and fuel coming out of the gap between the drive plate and the crankcase though. Somthings wearing. It seemed to get better as time went on though. Thanks for all your help guys, and Andrew thanks again for your generous offer!
