Thanks for the info SilverSurfer. You are correct about adjusting the carb. The setting from the factory actually seems a little on the rich side as it “burbles” time to time.

If I am missing out on any performance then I can’t wait to see what it will do when the carb is fine tuned.

I too have the same ease of starting the Taurus as fishgod explained, choke on, couple of flips till it pops, then choke off, and it starts, I don’t know how much easier it can get.
