Got it running.
Put gas in the carb from above without air filter. Unit ran a bit. Repeated and it ran a bit more. Poured more gas in the carb and just let it sit to see if it would self clean and let it sit for several hours and watched the Talladega race. At the rain delay, went back and the unit cranked an ran for an extended period with a little smoke and carbon smell.. I shut unit off and recranked again with the pull cord. For some reason the electric 12V start would not do anything. However, while running I turned the key and could here it engage. After shutting the unit down, I could then start it with the electric start. This repeated several times as well as to shut it down.
I think I need to just use this unit a good bit more, but soon change the oil.
How much oil should this motor require?
Many thanks to everyone's help. John
