Found two air jets in the carb that I had missed (couldn't remove the screened section on the intake side) and cleaned them out.
We put the carb back on, hooked up our "gas tank", and it fired right up!
Two problems now though. First, the idle speed screw doesn't seem to do anything and it's stuck at a good ~4000rpm rev. If I touch the throttle it revs up, but not back down. The slide is NOT sticking. Must be an air leak somewhere.
Second, the pipes are full of mouse mess. It made a mess when we fired it up!
Oh, and it seems to be smoking but not oil... smoke is white and just smells like exhaust. Might be the stuff in the pipes burning.
Anyways, video here! http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v245/aaron7/dream/?action=view¤t=SSPX2596.flv
Not sure why it sounds like an airplane. Stupid cell phone!
