Hi everyone,

I have a clinton 7 HP K700 air cooled with water impeller in the lower end. And I need pointed in the right direction for an engine issue.

I rebuilt the carb, the reed valves are sealing and in perfect shape, the pulse pump is working as it should, the spark plug is new, The points gap is set to .020. There is a nice blue arc at the plug, the compression is 80 PSI, Yet I cannot get it to fire even once, when pulling the starter rope.

I have tried to spray some gas directly in the carb, and no go. I pulled the plug and it is dry. If the reed valves are good, what would cause it not to suck a oil / gas mix from the carb?

Do I need to tear the engine completely down to find the issue internally?

Thank you all that will answer.
