Lessons learned so far:

1. Water heat doesn't seem to heat fast enough. Engine is cold-blooded. Runs fine when warmed to operating temperature.
2. Use taper fittings for fuel. Standard fittings with teflon tape leak. Do not use compression fittings.
3. I tried to use paper gasket on heat plate on bottom of intake. Leaked like a seive. I used gold RTV and let it set up for 24 hours. Seems to be ok.
4. Chokes idle too fast. I still need to adjust. I also noticed that if I touch the pedal, the fast idle turns off and it idles too slow to keep it lit. Still some work to be done here.
