Ok, I am back after a long summer. I have cleaned the carb, rebuilt the mag (and have good fire) put on new water impeller. When I try to start it will sputter but not run. The motor is making a high pitched squealing noise that sound like a birds when I am trying to start it. It is weazing and sputtering. I am getting fuel to the carb but don’t know if it is getting to the motor. I have done the Pop test and it pops and runs a few seconds and stops. Could I have and air leak in carb or gasket and the engine not pulling fuel? Is that why it is making the high pitched noise? The motor ran, but rough, before I cleaned the carb. I did not replace gasket because I looked good and I couldn’t find one.
