Thanks Bob,
A friend of mine suggested the same thing. Today we eliminated the fuel being a problem. As you can imagine my non starting engine , is a favorite topic of conversation at my flying field. One remark, somewhat humorous " put in a small boat it will make a good anchor" I shall not try that. I will try readjusting the valve lash, than change back to the old carb.. If none of that works I may be tempted to buy a small boat and put some other engine in the Stearman.
