The C-85's that have the 0-200 crank STC have a very common problem of running lean. We had a j-3 with this problem. It ran fine with a certain carb on it. When it was nosed over it was broken. We had a spare one, my boss said that they had tried the spare before and it didn't run. I took the two of them apart to see the difference between them. It was the jets. Which makes sence. I swaped the jets and it worked fine. One other thing, when you convert a C-75 to C-85 there is a jet change. When you do the stc may be there should be a change too. I have a parts manual for the stromberg, I'll see if I can find jets for a 0-200. Mark
