I just put a new 235 in my 1950 3100 and I cannot get it to idle or run without the choke. I sprayed WD-40 around the carb and the intake manifold looking for a vacuum leak. Did not find one, I also pulled the carb blew it out with compressed air and checked the float level. All seemed to be fine, I also disconnected the fuel pump and hooked it up to a gravity feed bottle in case the new fuel pump has too much PSI. Sometimes when it dies, I cannot get it to restart for a long time. Does anyone have any recommendations on what the issue may be or what to check?
