Hello to all; Been a while! The new hyd. motors are working grt. New hoses (FUN) O rings, filters, fuel shut offs (SPENDY) points, plugs, wires, and carb rebuild. This has to be the cold bloodest? engine I have ever had! The choke has to be out almost always. (northern Mn). As it warms up it is somewhat better, but not much. I was told the Ford engine is this way, with the up draft carb. Any one know about this? It "pops" back though the carb,killing the engine, like its running lean....I set the float to the service man. specs. thanks much Bob
