The problem with removing the bowl is if I do than to reseat it with the gasket is very hard u less you remove the carbs,and I don’t want to do that. Only last resort. But if I hold 5he bowl in place and back off the screw holding it ,gas should leak out through the screw hole. Right?

yes

I disconnected the fuel line going to the carbs,I blew air through it and the bottom carb blew gas out of it but not the top carb. I did get it started and seems good. I shot carb cleaner through the carbs while running. And she ran for a l9ng time till I shut it. Now ,will she start tomorrow? I will let you know. If she starts then I think she is good. I***8217;m hoping it will be good
Scook I did what you said with the air. So far so good.***55357;***56842;

I’m going to start it today and keeping my fingers crossed. She starts. I will post it here how it went.

No good. It started on the first try Great, then it stalled out and didn’t start again. But I noticed that the primer bulb is rock hard ,so there is no gas flowing to the carbs, is 5here @nything that I can do without removing the carbs? What to look for.

I m confused. U disconnected fuel line at carbs and blew air toward tank. When u did this fuel came out of bottom carb. How did the air get to carbs if u disconnected the fuel lines to them?
