"Been working on this project
"Been working on this project for the last few months, got the motor to start last week on carb cleaner but didnt appear to be getting any gas in the carb... The story...
Gas tank has been drained and now has fresh gas. Fuel pump filer has been changed. Cap and Rotor are new along with new coil and new connections at coil. Plugs also new. I got the motor to start 3 times last week on carb cleaner, but motor died after 2-3 minutes.
I decided to remove TOP PLATE ONLY on carb to check visually... The carb looked super clean. I soaked up the gas in the float area just in case it was bad and to see if the fuel pump was working.
I go to start now and see gas is being pumped into each barrel about 1/8" on top on the throttle "flaps". Is this normal? Looks like to much gas. I also happen to notice the wire on the choke gets "hot" after a few minutes. Its the same wire that goes to the coil, which is also "hot".
Looks like there is too much gas going into the intake. Did I loosen something when I removed the top plate?
Any suggestions?"
