Did cough a couple of times after I dumped a bit of fuel in through the intake ports. There is fuel in the carb bowls. May have an air leak somewhere in intake path. I think I read not to use ether, but use WD40 instead? Should I spray some Marvel Mystery Oil into the cambers to get better sealing? No more time to experiment today, so any tips for tomorrow are appreciated.
