Chet, can't claim it's in correct spot but believe to be.

Chet, glad you came to a resolution.

Note, I only slop a little fuel in the Kingston before attempting to start after winter storage to get a little fresh gas in.  Otherwise, it's good to go since the repair explained previously.  I close the valve on the line to the carb when parked for an extended time to minimize the force on needle valve/float.

You may have debris in your carb?  As you know, won't run if too lean or rich.  Need that Goldilocks level of fuel/air.  Good luck!

Chet, sorry for your woes.  I'm trying to understand how it overflowed the outer can without gas being sucked into your oil, but no matter.

When my Kingston malfunctioned, it was a broken solder on the the top washer on the cork shaft.  This allowed the cork to rise higher than it should, resulting in higher gas level since the inner tank valve never closed.  There was always the "call" for gas.

You may want to disassemble your tank and see what's up.  Also check the inner valve, it must seal completely.

Hopes this helps.

Ted,  have you explored viability of Amish wheelwrights for new spokes?  Good luck with your fix!

Looks like the picture in the Instruction Book for the '29U.

Interesting Chet.  More info for artificial leather see hagley dot org  re fabrikoid.  It is a du Pont product patented in 1915 and used in book bindings, upholstery and car tops. It appears it wasn't petroleum based like I thought, but nitrocellulose.  As you, I enjoy the search, but gave up looking for equivalency of leatherette and fabrikoid.

Since leatherette is synthetic, it could have been more expensive than cow hide, back in the day.  I understand leatherette covered the rumble seats, but not positive.

It appears I have cork there, but don't remember if that was there originally.  Seems odd it wouldn't be the beaded welt too.  Must have been a reason I used cork.
