Hello Class:
Took Bob's advice and adjusted the choke cable to pull down the jets a lot
more than before. There was no leak from the bowls as suggested by Randall.
The fuel pump was not primed as there is no priming lever. The temperature
this morning in my garage was about 45F. A good tug is now required to get
that cable out to lift the jets.
On the second pull the TR3A, man's best friend, SPRANG TO LIFE W/O A FIX OF
ETHER!
Praise to the class for its great help and insight.
