Actually if you prime the engine it should at least fire. It won't stay running after the prime is gone but it should fire off.Clivester wrote:No carby

I'm not so positive about that Bear. There has to be enough negative pressure to get sufficient fuel vaporization and with no carb its pretty iffy. Maybe with the intake partially restricted, or if using starting fluid (which is not advisable anyway).Bear45-70 wrote:Actually if you prime the engine it should at least fire.

As long as the reeds are in place (the OP said they were) then the crankcase should pressurize and the engine should at least fire off.Clivester wrote:I'm not so positive about that Bear.
