[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 352496, member: 3278"] You have yet to mention the impeller. Change it at the least or the complete pump assy if needed. All the work you are putting into it can go up in smoke pretty quick on a 50 year old impeller. Clean and rebuild the carb. As far as the rings go....they may indeed be stuck but run a heavy fuel/oil mix and run your favorite de-carbon agent straight down the carb when the engine is warm. Lots of it....meaning at least half a can then let it soak in the engine overnight. Keep the engine at the RPM where it will almost but not quite stall when shooting it down the throat. [/QUOTE]
