I had another thread about jetting and mentioned this issue but I figure I would start a subject specific thread. Anyway, I pulled main jet cover screw off the carb and put another main jet in. I sprayed some carb cleaner in there and put it all back together. I also checked the valves which needed no adjusting and the spark plug which was good to go. I put the gas tank and air filter box back on and it wont start. I checked for spark and that was fine. I then pulled that main jet cover off to make sure gas was getting in and tried starting. Gas dripped at a decent pace but did not pour from this area. Gas is getting in the carb so I dont think it is that? Did I maybe lodge something in the pilot jet when I sprayed cleaner from through the main jet? I am stumped and will pull the carb completely apart tomorrow but I would like to know if there is anyplace else I should start? It started fine before this.. could a lean main jet be the issue? I doubt it for start up but you never know..
