Hi, in the picture of the carb, I don't see how the choke thermostat is hooked up to a choke stove pipe. The choke should close when the engine is cold, although now since the weather is hot, the choke may not close all the way, but just as important, the choke must stay fully open, and be held open by spring pressure, when the engine is warm. Right now, as a stop gap, you can adjust the choke thermostat to hold the choke open. By the way, the carb looks new. Did you get this carb and install it?
Frank is asking about the ignition system. Do you know if it is original, modified, or swapped out
