The leak after no run issue seemed to clear up with after the bowls got drained, heavy gas/carb cleaner mix run through until it started stuttering and then the ignition was cut and let set over night. Started up today with a bit more gas put in. It runs great for 10-30 seconds then has a knocking thing happen and then smooths out. Hoping it's just the carb cleaner causing it. Anyway, I let it run for about 5 minutes and cut it off again. Checking into that knock issue and then finishing up a couple safety check items...then maybe taking it for a ride tomorrow! I'll post a link to a video of that knock/clanking sound and hopefully one of y'all can help diagnose it
