Yeah it is running pretty rough. It ran smooth for a little while today a few times but then it gets rough and then just wants to die. I messed with the timing some but I really need it to run longer so I can mess with it some more. If I put the choke on it runs but as soon as I let it off it will idle for a little while then die. The gasket I got came from autozone with the carb rebuild kit. I am wondering if I should see about getting another gasket from somewhere else. It is obviously not sealing properly.
