Ok I’ve tinkered with the two needle valves back and forth and together and everything I can think of. But the good news is after doing all this I did get it started and it sat there and ran smooth at what I would call medium idle speed. I adjusted the upper needle back and forth a hair at a time and smoothed it up more. I ran it no more than 15 seconds. Shut it off and let it cool off for 1/2 hour or so. Tried to start it again and no luck. Same as before, tried to hit but wouldn’t run. I’m under the impression from what I read that you SHOULD be able to open the fuel shut off all the way and all the carb adjustment is done with the top dial with the numbers, this ISNT the case though, if I open it all the way up it floods and too far in and I think it starves. At least I know it WILL run. I may take the fuel shut off valve out and see what it looks like. Are there any type kits available for these? Or just home remedies? Thanks again for the response
It's a jungle out there.
