Made sure all passages were clear in carb. I think timing is good, I'm getting good spark. What else can cause this? [Reply]   [No Email]

They tend to be picky on starting with the crank on a fresh rebuild, usually pop right off after 15-20 ft of pulling ......if everything is set right. [Reply]  [No Email]

Should have good suction. Low suction means low intake manifold vacuum. You need good suction to pull that fuel into the engine. Make sure your valves have enough clearance. Hal [Reply]  [No Email]

Any air leaks and she wont start. If the primers are there and functional, fill them up and then open them and re-close them, puts gas right into the cylinders. If you don't get it to pop, then you have other problems. [Reply]  [No Email]
