Did you squirt some actual gasoline in the carb throat (I like a hot dog mustard squeezer for this but you can dip some fuel line into a thing of gas then hold your thumb over the dry end ... put the wet end into the carb and release thumb)




This is a faster test than most ....

If it start and runs for 5-10 sec you can be sure it's a fuel issue (not compression release, valves, etc...)


...if it does then...


If you remove the fuel line from the carb end, does fuel run out?


If it does, it's a carb issue


These carbs are so simple, there's not much that can go wrong . If you CAREFULLY take the bowl off so as to not tear the gasket, if you clean the needle and seat and can blow from the seat to the gas inlet, then carefully reassemble, there's not a whole lot else that can go wrong.
