Answer
Hi Michael
Sorry for the delay- vacation

Fuel problem -
Drop the fuel bowl- spray carb cleaner through both the main jet hole and the idle hole.  These are in the center of the tube from the center and bottom of the fuel bowl.  Make sure spray gets into the carb body when you do this.

Lemme know how this goes
