oldroadie,

that was the very first thing I did.

And with having to open the throttle to start, combined with carb farts?
lean mixture?

I think we are getting somewhere.



Good about the vacuum caps. Since the carb is a CV and doesn't have an accelerator pump opening the throttle really doesn't do anything to start the motor. Have you opened the mix screws yet? Either that or one pilot size bigger is what I'm thinking. Go for the screws first, simple and cheap is always better.
