Posted By: Sumner -- Mac 26S -- Blanding, UT Date: 5/8/09 10:06a.m. Report: outside forum guidelines In Response To: Yup, good story (walt26scolorado) ....... the Honda info. I've never been a big fan of using starter fluid on a motor, but that might have to change. I have some plugs on order that should be in maybe today and next week I'll try them on the motor and instead of the bucket I've been starting in I think I'll drag a 55 gallon drum around and use it so I can run the motor longer and try and spend some time on the carb adjustments. I'd started it a couple times before and was really too lax on prep on it. One thing I don't like is that you can't give it any throttle while it is in neutral and I think that would help, especially if you feel you have flooded it and you needed to clean it out. The Nissan allows you to give it as much throttle as you want in neutral and it helped, especially until I found out how much choke it likes. I might look and see if I can override that feature. Walt if you ever get the chance I'm sure you would like McPhee, Sum
