Hi there. First post!

I just completed assembly on my ICEBEAR MADDOG,. and I cannot get it running. It will start, but the longest I've gotten it to idle has been about 5 seconds. I haven't been able to locate a choke or an idle screw to adjust, so I'm totally at a loss.

Please help. I've been working on this for 3 days now, and I'd love to get the maiden voyage complete soon!

Thanks!

Have you disconnected the inlet fuel line at the carb, and observed the flow to a container while energizing the electric starter?

Initially keep throttle closed for max manifold vacuum to operate the pulse fuel pump.

The latest original-equipment carbs are pretty much sealed up per federal mandate . . carb bowl screw heads are tamper-resistant, low-speed mixture screw has a metal plug over it, and the idle-speed screw MAY have a non-adjustable cap over the head.
