It‘s purring again.
The last thing I did was cleaned the carb for the 3rd time and installed a rebuild kit; and did all adjustments by the book. I also removed the automatic choke case, cleaned thermostat spring and parts inside, cleaned all attached pivoting parts and shaft, lubricated all moving parts.
The black slime must have invaded the new fuel pump. So, I installed the third new pump.
I blew carb cleaner at 110 psi through all metal fuel lines many times, and sometimes left cleaner sitting inside the metal lines. The invading black slime mutated into an easily airborne infestation. It turned into a brown powder. I blew it out about 20 more times, then blew brake cleaner through metal lines. This includes the sender unit that goes inside the fuel tank.
I installed new rubber fuel lines, new fuel filter at carb, new inline fuel filter at fuel tank rubber line that was not there before, installed new fuel tank.
