Pull choke out 1 notch, pump the gas 5 times, hit the starter and 5 sec
crank she goes.
Too rich, hmmm, "FT" suggested I push the buttons on the side of the carbs
to see if too rich/lean. When pressed and held pressed, the rear carb makes
the engine increase in rpm, the front carb as well but not much. Is this
the right way to test?
Thanks
