Next, I pulled the carburetors off.
Replaced a seized throttle cable and pulled off the bottoms to see if there were actually floats in them (in the spare parts box, there were 3 floats…. there were also 4 carbs). I was thinking 1 carb might be missing a float.First carb looked not too bad. Second was a little goopy… cleaned them out a bit, but didn’t totally disassemble (getting late and I was hungry).
Put back together, adjusted the cables and put in fresh gas.

Turn the fuel on and crank her again…… PUT! Hey, that’s a fire!
Keep cranking and vroom!!!! She started up!
