    Hi Everyone, I noticed that when I start my engine cold the far right cylinder doesn't fire up. After running on 3 cylinders for a minute I turn off the chock and the 4th cylinder first up (i can tell by the header temp and the engine runs smoothly). Upon further inspection I noticed that the copper fuel tube that runs from the chock valve is missing and the previous owner siliconed over the holes. Can a new tube be installed or do I need a new carb body with an existing tube. What should i do?

    Thanks guys!!!

    Nick from Canada!

    If you can find a suitable bit of tubing (I think it's brass, not copper), you can simply glue it in place - JB Weld, or the like.
