Got a new carburetor and air filter, so we'll see what happens. The pulley is also a clutch pulley, which lost a spring, and I have to try to track down the correct replacements.Next restoration project: a band saw with broken table mounts, and the internal start winding switch probably needs the contacts cleaned. The motor will move if you twist it by hand, so we'll see if I can get that running properly. My buddy has a cousin who runs a metal fab shop, so I'll see if they can weld the table mounts back on. Pictures when time allows.</blockquote>
