here's pics of the engine compartment. I double checked the float level in the carb today, double checked the timing: initial 12 degrees, 34 degrees at 2800 rpm. started it back up, reved it to 2000 rpm's until the temp hit 205 degrees then just let it idle & right up to 230 degrees in just a few minutes & so I shut it down. i'm almost ready to throw in the towel on this one.
