[SEL] waterloo boy 7hp

Hi all, picked up a 7hp waterloo boy this Saturday at auction.  Engine is
complete and on a nice cart, but hadn't ran in probably 7 years or so.
Spent most of Sunday draining the old gas, cleaning lines etc.  Had her
running by 2:00 Sunday afternoon.  Still seems to have a little trouble
regulating the gas, but did have her running for about an hour non-stop.
Fired her again today and still having some gas feed issues.  I am sure we
will eventually get her figured out, but if anyone has any tricks on one,
feel free to let me know!  

The same auction had a complete and running 10hp Root and Vandervort.
Should have probably went for it since it's final sale price was $6,000.
