I am picking up a couple filters first thing I can, have a pretty healthy dose of gumout carb and choke cleaner in the tank right now hoping to see if that will help out some. Will post back once I get some more info

After messing with the fuel needle...got about 40 almost out of it now but still bogging out....what else should I try?
It starts right up first try hot or cold....so pretty sure I got the carb set right. Thinking may just ride it and see if it'll work itself out...don't really need it to go over 30 for a lil while anyways.

According to your drawing, the petcock off your tank is what we'll call the fuel pump. The spaceship was part of the emissions system that can go bye bye. Starting fluid should really be sprayed straight in past the air filter for a straight shot into the carb.
Did you block off that vacuum line?

Looking at it now....awesome drawing..You sir are an artist....seriously  Anyways, bowl drain hose comes off the bottom. Your vaccum and fuel line are hooked up correctly. For right now, you can take that "T" fitting off the line going to the intake (orange) and plug it off. You don't need all the extra crap right now just to fire up. Realistically you should be set to go. Try it after plugging off that line. |

Oh I didn't know that you didn't have that part on the carb.......Makes this semi easier possibly.
Plug off the 3rd vaccum line off the "T" fitting. Take a small screw and put it in the end or what not. Make sure your spaceship is letting fuel get into the carb. It should start from there.

Agreed.....check your variator weights, and belt condition, and go from there.

Do a search here for the variator and should find some helpful procedures to diagnose.

Bumpity bump bump.......
Pulled the diaphram out and all is peachy in there....immaculate and no rips or tears.....only have three adjustments on the needle, was in the middle now I have the clip on the lowest setting to see if maybe can get something more from it.....but the bugs were eating me alive so I haven't tried retuning it yet. I at least got it to start right up and that was it.
But, what other suggestions would there be possibly?
