Canada	Hy Guys, an update, I had "E' mailed my friend with your suggestions, but I didn't get a reply from him, so I went to see him, turns out he changed his "E" mail address. Now to the engine, he found another carburetor for the 261 installed it and the engine performed as it should right down to idling. Thanks again for your suggestions!
