My M38A1 has always been a little hard to start but recently got a lot worse. Over the weekend, the float got stuck open somehow and flooded the carb. I took it apart and checked the adjustment, everything else was fine. It's running and driving fine now besides a bit of rough idle at times. I tried adjusting the air mixture screw but it didn't seem to do anything. When I went to start it yesterday it took a lot of turning over. It seems it would try to start in the initial 2 seconds of turning over then nothing. It took 4 or 5 tries before it started sounding like it was really trying to start. And after another turn over or two it started. Carb is getting fuel. I need to check if it's making it into the combustion chamber and need to verify spark strength. But once it's running it seems to be fine. Any ideas?
