Default Re: HELP: ready to start again...n/g

Thanks Mitch..I'll try that tomorrow... I talked to Snyders and told them about the black rubber gaskets deal(talked with Tom) he sent some free cork gaskets.
I'll try the rubber hose till they get here.
I had my wife do the inside controls and I sprayed carb cleaner into the carb and it fired right up!! twice in fact.. Nice sound!! Now i forgot is it the gasket first or the screen first when reassembling the sediment bowl?? must be the CRS??
The spark plugs were sparking against the head nut, so i also cleaned all the ends of the brass connectors to dist top.
Thanks guys for all your suggestions and help, as always..

if your sedement bowl gaskets deterioated check the carb inlet filter as well as im sure its clogged.

Glad you got it narrowed down to carb/fuel issue.
