I travelled back to Arkansas to get her going and found that the carb had been sitting so long that the seals on the bowls were rotted. This caused fuel to leak out on the manifold and pour down into the engine. I have ordered a new/rebuilt carb that was listed as working with that particular engine. Hopefully all of the vacuum connections and such will hook up ok. Looks like I am waiting yet another week to bring her home. From my second trip to the coach and running the engine a little this appears to be the last thing that needs to be fixed. I'm definitely crossing my fingers.
