Find anything in the slow jets ? How about the brass tubes above the mains ? At 3~4K you start to depend on the next circuits to supply fuel. Since these have enricheners and not chokes, you can add some choke to make it run richer. Now if that helps, increase the main jets to 120. You don't spe

It can go on at that speed as long as you have gas in the tank; as for how much it holds, I have always kept it full and not let it get below about half a tank, due to the high humidity here.  Don't want water getting in and rusting out the tank.  Most I remember putting in was about three gallo
