Sorry to hear about your troubles. I'm not great with engines but I have a few suggestions. The gas in the gas tank may be fouled up. Was it sitting at all before you got it. Try draining the tank and using fresh gas. Also make sure it has gas in it. This sounds stupid but the gas gauge in my 55 just started sticking one day and the engine would stall because it ran out of gas and I still thought it had a 1/4 tank. It worked fine then one day all of the sudden 1/4 tank means empty. Took me a day or two to figure out what it was. I'm sure you'll get some much better suggestions from some of the other guys who really know their stuff, but maybe this will help a little. Good luck, hope you get it running.
