Ok, I got it to run today, just a few mins ago. I took the electric pump that the PO put in out, and it seems to run OK for a few seconds, and then it stutters and dies, after maybe 30 seconds. This is with the cold-start lever on. If I turn the cold-start lever off, it takes a little longer to crank up, and when it does finally start running, it only runs smoothly for a second, before it starts stuttering, and eventually fails.

I attempted to adjust a screw on the back of the injector pump, just above the injector lines, and worked it until the idle wasn't as rough (went out until it got rough, then back in until it got rough, and made it as not rough as I could between those points).. No real change, though.

What else do I do to make it run smoothly and stay running?

Also- at times, throttle input does nothing. At other times, throttle input revs it up/down/up/down/up/down until it eventually stalls. It never gets past about 3k by ear, though.

I had to give up - the smoke was giving me a headache.
