[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 469412, member: 15465"] Congrats on getting it started again. The muck in the barrel is normal. The nostril you show in picture is not the main exhaust only for pressure relief at idle. Check that the carb is wide open when stator plate is at the rotation stop. Mine wasn't. Made a huge difference in idle when I fixed that. The thermostat is easy to pull out. It will be obvious if it is stuck open. If it is closed, you can check that it opens in a hot pan on the stove. Good luck [/QUOTE]
