Well so much for running fine....I took it out again today and now it appears that fuel is leaking out of some kind of plug in the passenger side of the carb! It bogged out as I was taking off from a stop sign and wouldn't start so I took the breather off and she was oozing fuel out that plug on the base of the carb. I waited until it had drained out and eventually it started.
Does this new development mean a new carb? Or perhaps a rebuild?
