I can only get it to run for about 2 or 3 seconds. It seems like it isn’t getting enough gas, but I’ve had both jets opened from 1 turn all the way to 4. Nothing seems to make any difference. The best run was playing with the choke once after it started. It may have ran about 5 seconds and then died. Prior to today’s tests, I took the carb apart and soaked everything in a can of Chem-dip Carburetor Cleaner for 1 day, blew everything out and then reassembled it. I’m using fresh 16/1 gas/oil in a jury rigged clean gas tank. All the lines are clean. After a frustrating day I dismantled the carb again to look for debris but everything is clean.
One thing I did find when I initially took the carb apart was the bottom jet looks like my dad stripped the screwdriver slot trying to remove it. The needle looks ok, and I can’t see any damage to the hole, but I think that jet needs to be replaced.
Suggestions???
