Ongoing starting/running problem on a 1983 (2001) model

RE: hard start again

Did you replace the gasket under the carb and the spacer? If not then that could be your leak. Have you pulled a spark plug to see what it looks like? Symptons like this one make you turn over each rock to find the culprit....

PS. your timing should be 6 degrees BTDC.

RE: hard start again

Nope, the floats were adjusted right after the carb was installed. Unless i hit the accelerator, I have never seen any gas dripping in the carb when it gets hot. It should be easy to see right?
