man did it feel good to drive my baby again. I tried to start it last night to move it to my storage shed while we try to sell the house, but the carb just kept dumping gas. I went out today and bought me a 1406 and put in and she fired right up. she has a little backfire in her. could that be from old gas? It also has kind of a knock in it when she is idleing. when i push in the clutch it goes away. maybe throwout bearing? thanks for your help.
