I've been working on this motor a few days. It sat idle for about 10 years or so.
Fuel pump and gasket replaced (no rebuild kits for these pumps), carb rebuilt today and is really clean, new plugs, new fuel and tank, compr. 130 both cyl, Had to replace most of the wiring from the main harness.
Electrical is all good, great spark etc etc.and it does run.
When I squirt some fuel in the carb, it will start fine and run a few seconds till that fuel burns off then stop. Apparant no fuel is getting past the carb. The plugs are dry after cranking, another sign of no fuel obviously.
I am thinking the reed valves are stuck/broke and isn't pulling fuel from the carb?
Would like a second opinion, eitherway, I'm pulling the intake tomorrow.
