Rocky, I’m jumping in on behalf of JerryS, he is spot on, I guess you haven’t read thoroughly accurate accounts and documents of this time period, Slavery was not the factual cause of this conflict, in fact Lincoln never even freed a single slave in the Northern states, the Emancipation Proclamation is not understood by many, folks think that when Lincoln conceived it and freed the Southern black man in the wording of this proclamation that it was the greatest thing of all time, duh.....he didn’t care about slaves and in fact slave labor continued on with construction of the US Capital during the war, General Grant had slaves and didn’t release them til after Lee surrendered at Appomattox, and Lee never owned a slave, he inherited his father in laws slaves and he emancipated them before the war. Many slave owners were in Northern states and Lincoln didn’t want to rock the boat with them. In my family tree I have documented 78 Confederate ancestors, Grandaddys, Uncles, Cousins and not one of them ever owned a slave, my wife’s family has 50+ Confederate ancestors as well, no slave ownership, there is no way in heck our dirt poor farmers, and sharecroppers went to war for a rich man to have a better life, I’m a descendant of several indentured servants that came to America for a better life so you might say I’m a direct descendant of slavery , I give thanks to my heritage everyday and hate to see it trampled on by revisionist history

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
