Trouble Starting! HELP!

Post by stepitup »

ok so i installed the float valve as directed, and the ped started to turn over. It never acutally started and now i don't even get close. Could it be flooded? I tried using a small amount of starter fluid but that didn't help! I'm stuck in a rut!

I assume you have made sure your air filter is clean.
Your automatic choke could be shot.
Is gas getting to the carb.
Try your drain screw and see if any gas comes out.
Disconnect fuel line from carb. If gas just keeps coming out
and doesn't stop then you have a problem with your vacuum tube.
It is also possible that your muffler is plugged with carbon.
Your cylinder head could also be plugged with that nasty stuff.
