All the small problems listed here are a culmination of
1) minor design weaknesses not forward tested for 48 years
2) age
3) bad past “mechanics”
4) neglect

Nothing major like rod knocks that are game delayers.
Actually I think #3 is the biggest issue. Once I undid everything the POs had done and put it back to stock, mine has always run when needed. No primer. No electronic ignition yet. Never been de carboned yet
