Hey guys, don't want to step on this thread, BUT, since your talking carbs, I'm having a little issue with my 70. Had it tore down and now it's back together. It ran fine before the teardown, but I'm having a little trouble getting it started. I rebuilt the carb (Cleaned, new bowl gaskets, needle & seat, float in good condition, fast idle 2 3/4 turns out, slow idle 1 1/2 turns out), and I can see the fuel atomizing when it's trying to start, so I have fuel. If I hold my hand over the carb while starting, theres lots of vacuum and it seals very tight, so I feel I have good enough compression to get fuel to the cylinder. I timed it with the multimeter, and it's on the money (S centered). I've pulled the plug and held the electrode against the body and have good spark. Plug is gapped at 025. It just won't fire. Even if I spray carb cleaner in the carb or down the plug hole. It's new fuel with Stabil and the tank & strainer are clean. Any suggestions?
