I just picked up a Chrysler 4HP and fixed the pull cord and cleaned it up and got it running, however after running about 5min it gets soo hot, it wont idle (It smokes alot when I turn the throttle down too) and once it stalls it wont start. I'm running 32:1. I checked the water flow and it is spewing water out the exhaust. I can't figure out what is going on. Someone please give me some ideas. Thanks

I ran it for a while and pulled the plug and it was bone dry. I think the motor is running lean. Can I richen it up by tightening up the air screw on the carb?
