    '59 QD 20 gastank filling with exhuast

    I have a QD 20 I acquired to do a rehab on. After a carb clean out and high pressure air blast through the jets, replacing the coils, replace recoil and water pump I tried a start-up. It starts with some effort but runs reluctantly before gasping out. My guess is it is likely needing parts...
