So my next step would be to remove the carb and review the gasket? What happens if that all checks out ok?
Please excuse my ignorance - this was my first ever tune-up. The overhaul kit for the carb sounds like a good idea...or is it? So use the carb cleaner on the manifold side of the vacuum thing or only on the carb side of it?
Thanks everyone for your help & guidance! Appreciated!
