CHECK FUEL DELIVERY:Take the Carb Fuel hose off the Carb put it in a container and crank the motor over.
1. If Fuel STREAMS out, fuel to the carb is good, Filter is not clogged and Petcock is working good. Re-connect the Fuel hose back onto the carb—GO TO CHECK CARB.
2. No Fuel Comes out, take the Fuel Filter off and crank it again.
A. If fuel comes out the Fuel Filter is Clogged replace fuel filter.
B. If fuel does not come out –GO TO CHECK PETCOCK.
CHECK PETCOCK:Take the Vacuum Line OFF going to the Petcock from near the carb and suck on the VACUUM LINE or apply suction.
1. If fuel comes out you have a VACUUM PROBLEM(valves or compression).
2. If fuel does not come out you either have a bad petcock or a clog from the tank to the petcock. Disconnect the fuel line going to the Petcock from the tank.
A. If fuel comes out the petcock is bad replace petcock.
B. If fuel does not come out either the hose from the tank is clogged or the tank outlet is clogged. Check and clean out or replae hose.
CHECK CARB:First turn the Fuel Ratio Screw Clockwise until it stops and then turn it out Counter Clockwise 2 ½ turns and try to start it.
1. If it does not want to start get a paper cup and put in about teaspoon of gas. Take the Vacuum hose off the Intake Manifold squeeze the paper cup and make a point and pour the little bit of gas straight into the Vacuum hose and connect the hose back onto the intake manifold. Now try to start it.
A. If it attempts to start or start and die now we know gas is not being sucked out from the carb bowl— GO TO CLEAN CARB.
B. If it does nothing time to check for Spark and Compression.
CLEAN CARB:Take the Carb Bowl off and unscrew the PILOT JET and MAIN JET.
First clean out the Jets make sure you can see Daylight through them.
Then Spray into the holes the Jets came out of and clear out the passages.
When you do this spray will come out of different areas. When you spray into the pilot jet spray will come out by the front of the carb by the Butterfly.
When you spray into the Main Jet spray will come out by the needle guide.
