The carb, he mentions, is like it's a recent rebuild... but all wrong inside...
The seller told me he'd put a new rebuilt carb on it, so that tallies. He also fiddled with it, so that tallies.
I might see if I can bring a known carby with me on the 'plane.
I don't think it will be valves not sealing as it surely wouldn't run at idle like that, the 'jumped a tooth or two' theory has to be checked, my helper will buy me a timing set (that I can return if not required) in case that's right.
Basically I have to get this rig on the road in one day, or at most two days, when I get there and it's planned to do about 7000 miles in it.
