Woo Hoo!!!
The fluff is gone.

I don't know exactly which of the things I changed, resolved it. I did adjust the floats the tiniest bit. When I look at my measurement photos and read the manual, I'm not sure my measurement is good with the floats upside down.

I bent the fast idle rod so the choke is open 3/32" on fast idle.

I'm wondering if that choke spring was disconnected all along. By fixing it, it may keep some tension of the choke to keep it open. Perhaps it was flopping closed when the draft became strong. I don't know, just a guess.

But a wonderful feeling to be zipping up hill and no fluffing.

Thanks for the help and encouragement.

OK, Thanks. I'll use the first format m4v
