I figured the motor was older. The lhs guy thought it was a 23.

Morgan, I had it half open just get it started initially. I realize now that the idle stop screw is removed and the controller reverse is used to kill the engine. I’m learning. I’ll have to find the correct gap for the new plug I put in it. Also, Dan says to go with 16:1 premix. The batch I made was more like 38:1. That will make a huge difference with the fuel/air mix, much leaner and oily.

I plan to make a PVC work stand this weekend and figure out how to hook up a water line to the pipe. Does anyone here want to share a good method of hooking this small water line to the garden hose? HD and Lowes is right down the street.
