[QUOTE="tobyw, post: 1552182, member: 16413"] I should have been more specific... the carb needs rebuilt [I]again[/I]. I say again because I just rebuilt it last weekend, after tearing it down and letting it set in Berryman Chem-Dip for an hour and blowing out all of the ports with compressed air. New accelerator pump and new enrichment valve actuator (both diaphragm type rubber components) were included with the rebuild kid, along with the needle and seat. I cleaned up all of the jets/nozzles that were disassembled and blew out all of the passages, and took a brass wire brush to the fuel bowl itself to clean up the nasty varnish that was still clinging to the corners and such. Thought I did a pretty fair job, but apparnetly not... Regardless, I would still expect it to run for a spell with a little fuel and/or starting fluid directly in the carb throat?? I have thought about a compression check, but how much would it really tell me at this point since there is no heat in the block to help things expand and seal? I always thought you were supposed to do a compression check with it at or near operating temp, otherwise it was useless info? I know each hole produces *some* compression, as I can feel it against my thumb when I cover the plug hole and spin it by hand... Again, not at all discounting the idea, I'm open to ANYTHING that will help get it fired up, so thank you for your time in responding for sure!!! [/QUOTE]
