OK…so I found what I believe is the check valve at the bottom of the bowl. See pictures. I Let it soak in lacquer thinner for awhile, and blew it out. I then put the carb back together and attempted to run the motor. I have attached a youtube link so you can see it running. As long as I pump the primer, I can keep the motor running. As soon as I stop pumping, the motor quits. Notice when I pump, the fuel gushing out the top of the primer.
BTW, adjusting the needle did nothing.
Thoughts???
