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;

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?

No ,I disconnected the fuel line from the inline filter and blew air in the line going to the carbs, the bottom carb blew air and gas out the top carb did not. But yesterday it ran great so today I started it and she started on 5he first try,then stalled out and could not restart it unless I put carb cleaner into the top carb,than it started but stalled so I think the problem is with fuel getting to the carbs. I think what I’m go8ng to do next is remove the fuel lines (. It may) and replace it with new fuel lines. I don’t know much about carbs so I will leave them alone but check the lines. What do you think?
