OK hands just cleaned up .... I pulled the float bowls apart and reset the float level ... they are sealing properly ..tested by blowing with the cover upside down .... however I did find that the bowl of the front carb was almost dry while the rear was fine .... appears there is a slow leak where the line comes out of the front float bowl to the jets ... will have to get that looked after post haste ... I cleaned and lubricated all throttle and choke linkages .. have new choke cables so they slide really well ... I added two large hose clamps around the tops of the dash pots and the choke cables and just snugged them enough to make sure that the cables were not being pushed back out off their seats and therefore not shutting the choke off completely .... I got a small piece of rubber windshield washer hose and plugged it with a sawed off 3" nail and plugged the vacuum advance lead on the back carb .... Fought my home built dual carb aircleaner off and back on with minor amounts of cursing and blood letting .... now it's time to go for a test drive ...... but somehow ... I have a feeling that the old problem will still be there ..... back in a while with the final results ...
