HA!!!!!

Cleaning the carb seems to have done the trick. After fitting the carb =
again
I could not resist to give it a try, defying the cold. It coughed and =
with
some patience it eventually sprang to life.

I let it run for about 20 seconds and repeated this after an hour. The =
carb
is still bleeding a bit through the joints although they are new. I =
suppose
that, like with many paper joints, they have to suck up the liquid first
befor being really tight.
=20
It is a good feeling to know that this hurdle is taken now!
=20
But it seems to consume an awful amount of fuel. I think it swallowed 5 =
or 6
times the content of a 10cc syringe which I used to fill the floating
chamber. Could it be that there is a leak somewhere?
=20
