[AT] Bad tractor day

[LeRoy Price III]

Its an updraft...

They were dry Walt but carbed up so I cleaned them also.

Compression is great, just rebuilt 1 year ago and was running fine just 3 
weeks ago
without issue.

Its and updraft and I think I'll spray some ether in the next try and see 
what happens.

I know fuel level sometimes will cause this but I think I have enough but it 
was leaking for
awhile.

Need to recheck things again once the batteries are recharged.
