Poppet valve is clean and free. Fuel comes out when pressed up. Does it matter which end of spring goes up? Small end was up but seems to fit better small end down. Fuel shut off stem is broke but got it open. Cleaned the filter but gasket fell apart on screw. Will a cork gasket work? Anyway I turned the flywheel back and forth three times and it fired…once. It fired again but just once about every third time. Motor was mounted on a sawhorse so it was not level. New water hoses so I could try it leveled in the test tank after I fix that leak. This thing is heavy so anymore advise would be very much appreciated before my pore aching back has to lift it into the tank. Thank you all. Slim
