[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 193554, member: 1650"] If it starts too easily cold I always suspect that it is too rich. Having it blubber more as it gets warmer, or become harder to start after killing it is kind of tipoff. the problem is that since it has been down awhile, no one can probably tell if it is better or worse down low etc. its really possible to have one that is running too rich due to a high float level and have the low speed circuit partially plugged too, so that it responds like it is lean sometimes. checking the valves for clearance is fast and easy. taking the carburetor apart and completely cleaning out the low speed (and highspeed)circuits is a longer process, setting the float is basically free. for my time and money I would check the valve clearance and set the float today. then make a determination on the next and spendier steps.
