Previous post indicated had trouble getting engine to stay running after started. After changing 10 year old coil that read open when hot, repairing battery ground cable, and cleaning fuel line from tank to carb and finding pieces of thread tape plugging up stuff, we now have sputter and run sort of. Also found that the filter that is supposed to be at the inlet fuel elbow is missing. So, it now takes full choke, with throttle set at idle, to get it to start running. Set choke to half throttle, then it runs about a minute, then seems to get flooded out and stops. Also, when trying to move throttle up from idle, has the same effect on running. Lastly, removing fuel cap makes no difference. I tend to think that carb was set to run with the reduced fuel flow, and needs to be reset in some way, but I do not know what I should adjust, if anything. Looking for additional information or suggestions as to what to do or try next.
