Thanks Jon, I appreciate your candor. I had a similar experience when I first got my ‘52 and was troubleshooting why I couldn’t get it to run for more that a few seconds. I was convinced it was starving for gas, installed a rebuild kit and proceeded to take that Rochester apart four times before I replaced the condenser which was the real issue. And now, after reading threads about the issue of a warped air horn to body joint, I suspect my ‘52 is suffering from that fate too. That however is a subject I have no intention of discussing in the thread!
