Thanks for the tips on that Carter BB carb and the part numbers for the right kit. I did a really thorough job of overhauling it, and it runs like a champ. It's a rare treat to have an engine that will idle so slowly that the idle mixture screw actually has an effect in both directions. It will run at a slower idle than the homebrew throttle linkage will accommodate, and it will run fine with no choke after a quick warm-up. It also accelerates without stalling. Maybe I'm easily impressed. Now to take it out and see how it does at full throttle.
