I got my engine started for the first time in years. (YAY!) The problem is, last time I messed with it I must have cross threaded the outlet of the fuel pump. (stock glass domed mechanical one), so after dealing with a leaking pump for the first test firing I replaced the now bad part with a spare. Hindsight tells me I could have done this without removing it, but....Anyway, now the priming lever works but the engine seems to run till the carb bowls run out of fuel, so it sounds to me like I didn't get the pump seated correctly. Any ideas on properly seating the lever?
Just for kicks, here is it running.
