    Okay, new quality carb kit is in place, high and low speed needles adjusted per the book, new points, plugs and wires, coils and condensers are in, but I am still not pleased with the results. I am a little afraid what I am about to say will sound like whining, but I can’t get it to run very...

    Gas tank help

    I just picked up a $30 JW 10 (I couldn't help myself) and want to see if I can get it running. I opened the gas tank and saw there was a nasty flaky kind of goo layer in the bottom of the tank. I have rinsed it out with carb cleaner and done the nuts in the tank, shake till I am blue in the...
