    glad gravity  feeding helped.    now that you do have it running   for 3-4 minutes open the tank cap… it should be pressurized. if it is !!!!   something screwy in the tank not pushing fuel up the carb

    if not ……spray soapy water   from tank to air nipple.. if no bubbles          then  the flapper valve needs a look at  or the nipple is crudded shut .  poke  a piece of wire or blast with  carb cleaner

     

    if you need a flapper  I can dig one up probably but  needs digging in the bin box.  🙂
