    Where would the world be without the USA?

    Who's? If you're trying to place blame on the USA for the creation of nuclear weapons, you'd be right for the USA furnishing the place and funding for mostly-European scientists to finish the work they had already started. That genie was going to get out of the bottle one way or another...

    ? Vapor lock?

    You should not be getting raw fuel coming out of the spark plug hole. Check the needle and seat in the carburetor.

    One thing about it, if one decides that the grass is greener in some other country than it is in the USA, there is nothing keeping him here.

    Welcome to the forum, but embedded links on your first post may not be a good idea. I'm not going to click on it; maybe others will but I'd recommend they not. If there's another way of posting the info contained in that link, I'd do it.

    Does this machine has a 4 cycle engine or 2 cycle one?
