Its an older bs 4stroke snowblower. Ive cleaned the carb all out but its still not getting gets, the bowl seems to be filling up fine. It kinda seems like it needs to be primed but it doesnt have a primer on it any ideas? Runs fine if i keep spraying starting fluid in it.

fuel lines? did you clean out the tank?

spark sounds good - is the fuel fresh and moisture free? no primer so you need to choke it, is the choke working properly? i would boil the carb and if it doesnt run from there, call your local dealer and just buy a new carb.

did you clean the jet? are you sure fuel is getting into the carb?

I dont think i need to clean the tank, i know for sure gas is getting into the bowl, and the bowl has one screw in the middle of it which i think also acts as the jet and it has 2 small holes ive put a wire through both of them and blasted them each with carb cleaner, it has 2 adjustment screws on it im going to play with today. Fuel was drained and replaced with new fuel.
