i`ve got it running. w8ye your right. i had to turn the needle in alot. now the engine starts easily but won`t rev up , it`s stalls out when i try to advance the throttle. it also surges at idle a little bit. i noticed a hissing noise coming from the front bearing as i turned it over by hand.i see a bubble coming out of the front every once in a while when i turn it over. i guess you don`t get much for $20. the engine look like new & has good compression, but i`m thinking the carb is shot. i wonder how much a carb is & if i can even get one? thanks for all your help!!
