    Does the primer only prime the low speed? The leakage I see around the low speed venturi is only if I shoot fuel into it with a syringe so I’m not too concerned about it. When I push the primer a few times, I see a little fuel leak out of the hole which sounds common. The low speed packing washers have my attention, I don’t think there is anything in there currently. What could I use as a replacement for them?

    If this were the problem, would it explain not getting any fuel into the combustion chamber? I couldn’t believe that after the first round of trying to start it the plugs were totally dry until I forced fuel in.
