Thanks for all of your responses.

It revs well from idle (no load).  But this is just blipping the throttle...
don't want to alienate the neighbors.

Today I will:

Change the dashpot oil  (30 wt OK?)

Recheck the timing.

Drive it again and choke it when it stumbles.

Order some float valves.

After reading the Haynes and Clymer manuals last night the SU doesn't seem
as intimidating.  So I'll get out the spare pair and start cleaning them up.

Any other recommendations?

Thanks again!
