choke wire is set.
smoke is white/grey
winds up in minutes not seconds
today I got it to run and took it to the place that rebuilt the carb, they adjusted the idle, seems to work okay now.  He said the vacuum advance tends to go bad, told me how to check it.
Still have not managed to adjust the tv cable, tho tried the directions in the tech pages here; it is still slack, and
I am not sure what it does.
It runs a bit rougher than before it quit, and drives more aggressively, and it lurches when shifting gear @ about 20 mph
still have to pump the gas a little sometimes to get it started
BUT IT WORKS! HAHAHA!  Felt pretty good putting all the tools and ladders back this afternoon. Plus apparently I have a new hobby now. Wife thrilled.
