Post by JDMIKE8100 »

Had this carb off twice,cleaned well with carb cleaner and has a new carb kit.
Still not getting fuel to motor,plugs dry.
Fuel pumps @ carb into cup.
Machine has not run for a long while,have lots of spark and compression.Thanks.

If I'm reading this correctly you have fuel at the carb but not in the mixing bowl?

Will it run with manually introduced fuel?

Swap out the carb if you can. Something has to be wrong with that one.

That's what I am thinking. Do they pit or oxidize over time?

They can, especially if ethanol has been through them or if critters have peed inside. Something is blocking somewhere.
