Drove the Clipper up to Schaumburg and then over to Lombard and then back to West Chicago. So lots of local roads and stop lights.

Looks like the months of sitting have caught up with the carb.

Choke or something is sticking and is not fast idling when cold.

Also, it stumbling/staling upon acceleration from a stop, even after it's warmed up. Perhaps it just needs a cleaning and adjusting. Hasn't really been driven much since the PI Meet, so I figure the fuel is a bit stale as well. Put 10 gals of fresh fuel in with the old to help with that.

Lots of winter projects to work on.
