Thanks again...
the only time pushing the key does anything is when you are spinning the motor over, or if you just pump ed the primer bulb up good and tight. All pushing the key in does is open a valve that allows fuel to flow in behind the carbs, enriching it. It rely on the fuel pump or residual pressure in the line to push the fuel in. Try holding it in while spinning the motor over
