Wayne: I have not had a chance to work on this engine yet,. The holidays and etc. have kept my attention in other places. But I do plan to get to work on it soon and I believe that the problem can be solved. I am going to try three or four things at once (like replace all of the fuel lines and install a larger fuel filter and so forth.

Will let you know how all of this works out.

As to converting a four stroke to gas, that one is beyone me-good luck and let me know how it works.
