So far, I've decided that it's running lean. Mine seems to be lean on
the rear carb only. I'm guessing we both have a leak that is allowing
in extra air. This causes a lean condition. We are both compensating
for the lean condition with the choke... causing a rich condition.
I plan to use propane or carb cleaner to find the leak. Hopefully, it
will be in a vacuum hose or the carb gasket. It may be a manifold
gasket... but I hope not. I'll post again when I know more.

Thanks for the tips. I've used a propane torch (unlit) to look for vacuum
leaks and it works great.
