Yes the motor is new to me. Was told it would run and then die.The air line that runs from the motor to the fuel connector has been changed by me.I put the yellow fuel line on and while the motor is running I can see what looks like a bubble to travel toward the fuel connector.I can also see fuel in the the other line at the back of the motor going from the top to the bottom of the motor.I did get a bit of air in the tank at one time when I opened the cap.I can remove the air line from motor and with the fuel line disconected from the tank I can blow thru it.Changed plastic float to a cork one and float is set where it should be. Lots of fuel in tank.Tomorrow I will try another carb that I have.If I pull the air line off at the motor when it is running should I be able to feel the air pulsing?Thank you..Russ…
