Hello,
My 1964 4000 gas lost power. It had a backfire and then coughed a bit and had trouble starting after that. The air cleaner had a bunch of water mixed in with the oil and the spark plugs were very black. Also, that carb main jet was set to 5 or 6 turns out.
I've replaced the oil in the air cleaner, changed the plugs and set the carb to about 2 turns. I will start and run, but barely has enough power to move itself.
Can someone give me some guidance on tracking down what the problem is?
Thanks,
Jerry
