Default Re: Will not start after engine rebuild

Blowing out the carb. with compressed air should be done with the carb. taken apart. Forcing air into the assembled carb. at the fuel inlet can damage the float. It can break at the seams, then fill with fuel and sink, wetting the plugs and washing away the oil on the rings and cylinder walls. The result can be not enough compression to fire the mixture.
