Cheers for the reply's..

Unfortunately, i had already done all of the procedures mentioned above including stripping and cleaning the tank and carby (compressed air)...

Also, i sealed around that gasket...

I am chasing down an original spring (governer) so im kind of hoping this will help?

Also getting my cylinder sharpened now $50. Seemed like a good price...
