For a longer time than I want to admit. I have been trying to get my Model M to go.When I at last got it to start, more or less,it would not keep running. After it has been setting for awhile it will start runs fast for a minute or less, then slow down and eventually stop.Then, it will not start again until setting a length of time.So, first thought it had to be all the rust and trash in the gas tank. Cleaned it out,used an epoxy sealer and the gas is clean.Maybe the mag I thought. Repaced it with a hot mag. Set it carefully at TDC.Changed spark plugs.Still no. So, got another governer. The carburetor I had rebuilt about first of all, however it still leaks out the bottom. Seems like it would be the float.Put in another float, no luck. Turned the carb upside down measured float distance at 1-25/64 I believe it was.Same results runs like everything for a minute, then slows down and stops. Sometimes I can keep it going a little longer by closing the choke about 3/4, but it still ends up stopping, then gas leaks out the bottom.Every thing is just about as it was in the beginning. Any good practical advice will be appreciated.
