Bought my ascot after it had been sitting for almost 3 years. I knocked the carb all the way down and replaced the seals on the float bowl. I finally got it started today!
However, there's a bit of black smoke in the exhaust, and it won't idle. If I pull the throttle back just a hair it will idle roughly, but as soon as I let it go, it dies. No difference between having the choke cable pulled or not.
Any ideas?
