Hi all,
While in winter hibernation here in Illinois (although it has been over 50 degrees for the last couple of days) I pulled the carb off of The Stray Dog to have it rebuilt. I just spoke with the repair shop and they mentioned that the pre-heat  choke was packed full of carbon from the engine. They are suggesting that I pull the intake and check/replace the intake manifold heat tube, as it is likely damaged or rusted. Has anyone had this happen? If so, I could use a bit of instruction on what to look for and where to get this part. I'm also wondering if I need to be doing anything else while the intake is off. I've read the thread on blocking off the exhaust passenges and I think this would certainly be the time to do that.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lyle
