Well, I checked this at lunch break. No crud came out of the bowl, but the stream fizzled to drops. The seller had replaced the fuel line, and I foolishly figured nobody would do that without tending to the sediment bowl and petcock. MY MISTAKE! I removed the line and it's clear, but the sediment bowl had no screen above it, and a little crud in the bottom. When I put it back together it isn't flowing at all.
So tomorrow (when I'm off) I'll borrow a sediment bowl from a 2n I've got waiting for other work (it was new a few years ago). If that shows me a decent flow to the carb then maybe that was the fuel-starving culprit. If not, hopefully at least I'll be able to start it and try the propane test for vacuum leaks.

Spec for the stock, Marvel Schebler carb is .046. The jet in my aftermarket, silver carb was .065. The bigger hole in the jet lets engine pull to much air from the float chamber, giving your symptoms."

In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
