Been a long time since i had a carbed vehicle. I had this coach running with seven year old gas and it still ran pretty well. I drained the fuel and replaced the fuel filter and now it runs much better.

When i turn the key, without touching the gas, it fires immediately and runs for a few seconds before stalling.

To get it to keep running it's a voodoo dance of tapping the gas while calling on the spirit of Mickey Thompson and then it struggles to stay running for a few minutes until it finds the happy place.

But the fact that it fires instantly without touching the gas suggests that it's set up pretty well so I don't want to mess with anything without some clear guidance.
