No. Pan down and to the right a little. It's a large black component on the inboard side of the vent louvres.

Cool ... not sure if that's the problem, but either way now I just need to figure out part number and if still out there somewhere. Thx !Yep, the carb cooling fan.

Any chance to get a pic that shows that tag with part number there?Yep, the carb cooling fan.

Copy ... thx.
Do you still have the stock cast iron exhaust manifold on there, or does it have headers?

Yep, stock. The cooling fan does make a difference. The cast iron manifold puts a lot of heat to the bottom of the carb and intake manifold.
The carb cooling fan part number is/was 16360-61023, but I'm sure you will only find one used. Check the mud classifieds.
Something else you might look at is the condition of the intake manifold where it is connected to the exhaust manifold. The aluminum intake manifold can crack from exhaust being directed at it by the exhaust manifold. Pull the carb and look at the intake manifold directly below the carb.

If the engine is running hot, that will increase the percolation/evaporation problem.
Is the radiator stock?
What is the timing set at?

Yes ... stock radiator ... had inspected by radiator shop a few months ago and was okay ... temp seems normal (radiator shows 185 w/ laser thermo; watch it flow thru Gano when hits 190) ... uhh, he sheepishly says IDK timing.

Inspected 40 year old radiator= buy a new radiator.
And check the timing.
I’m not guaranteeing it will solve your problems, but it will help.

Copy that ... will put on my list of replacements (tho inspect = I should have said I removed it and had shop test it/reattach drain).
Will see about timing. Thx
