did you remember to turn the gas back on..? :)

check all connections, and gas
ive been caught in both situations hahaha

It's not the jet....I can tell you that. U must have dumped a wire or have no fuel. Also, u should put a bigger pilot in. 40 or 42

the gas is on. It does seem like its not getting any gas. theres only one gas hose right? Everything else is connected. Im going to double check now though. Let me know if there is anything else. I have to work at 5 oclock in the morning and we are leaving right after i get off. So I have to get this running tonight. It sucks!!

give the carb a couple of good thumps to make the float come unstuck. They do that sometimes. May be the problem. Float valve.

Then pull plug from bottom of carb, or drain screw. If you have gas, then you have gas.

Do you have spark?

[drew3623]

I cant check the spark right now because I just took the carb back off. I did find two hoses off. one is right below the yellow chock lever and it has an orange rubber cap sortof thing on the end. the other is on the top where two hoses meet and turn into one. Are these supposed to go anywhere?

[drew3623]

I found out the problem. When I put the plastic ring back around the main jet, I put it in up side down.

Now can anyone give me a good description of where the fuel screw is at? Is a a phillips screw or flat head?

The fuel screw is located in the fron the of the carb and a good starting point is 2 1/2 turns out. It is flat head.
