Thank BH - I bought this 235 motor to replace the 216 and had it running only one time before tearing it down. Not sure how it would have ran in that condition. Because it is plugged I really don't think it allowed the hot air to swirl around the fuel - at least not in the latter part of its condition.
Sounds like there isn't much in there so I am going to start scraping to see what I find.
