If the engine has been setting up for a long time, you're dad's probably right. If you decide to overhaul them yourself, get a shop manual before ya start.<br />Keep us posted with your progress.<br /><br />c/6<br />Hooty

The carb may just be dirty...especially if it wasn't run dry the last time out. Probably gummed up with a varnish like residue. A carb kit will likely be in order if you take it a part.
