[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 406371, member: 3278"] Well....if you don't think it is getting fuel then take a squirt bottle and add some 24:1 mix and spray some down the carb and see. You ARE running 24:1 in that engine aren't you? If not you better start. That is a bushing engine for one and the pistons are butter soft compared to any late model piston material. Skirt wear on a lean oil ratio will rear its ugly head and cause idle and starting issues.....before it pops a powerhead. Second, check the available spark energy. Remove the plugs and the plug wire should be able to jump a 1/4" gap with a good blue spark. Make those two checks and lets start from there. You may also want to fill in the gaps on the latest service history. [/QUOTE]
