Spent about an hour this afternoon fussing with the continental. Ran somewhat on ether. Checked the fuel. Going in but not through the carburator. So I removed the carb and brought it home again. Evidently, when I first tried to start the motor this spring, it loosened up some gunk and the needle valve stuck shut. I cleaned the inlet and seat up again, several times, then gave it a shot of WD 40 when I was done. This should keep the needle from sticking until I put it back on next Sunday.
