Any of those will tip you that you have a percolation problem. If you see none of that, with your hand on the carb linkage give it a good "push to the floor" and watch for accelerator pump to see if it will squirt gas out in two nice strong streams. Those two tests will put you down the road to success. Personally, I'm betting on percolation.  |
Thanks Patrick I will follow your tips next time I have it out. I should have added that once started it runs fine.
