My '44 N has always started & run great (except when the old Champion plugs did their thing). Recently I have had to turn off the gas at the tank - never had to for the last 10 years or so - because the needle & seat would not shut off unless I tapped on the carb. So, yesterday I decided to pull the carb & clean it. It was the dirtiest carb I have ever seen! And no gasket! I don't know how it ever ran with all the crud and air leaks! Anyway, a good cleaning and a new gasket later and it again fired right up & ran just as great as before and now doesn't leak! Never did see anything that would cause the needle to hang up!
How many of the new high tech engines would run like that?
Amazing!
