I agree now that it's gas mixed with dirt. The carbs were rebuilt but gas was left in the float bowls. I have a feeling the carbs will have to be rebuilt again, which is about $75 I think...a pain in the butt when I don't know if there are serious issues with the motor yet. Also, the throttle cables and some of the screws in the carb I think are tricky....I'm not sure how to adjust them back to specs so I don't screw up the fuel/air mixture.
