Yeah, I tried lifting the tank, even though it is the same tank/line I use on all motors I service. Didn’t help.

I tried a few combinations of J6s, J4s. Havent tried another brand as of yet. It came to me with original NGKs in it, and did the same thing with them.

This is the first time I have used this outdoor test tank/fuel tank combo this season. Perhaps the tank is the issue restricting fuel. Had not considered that as I use it so much. Hopefully that is it.

My friend bought the motor and has never used it. I restore all his motors for him. It apparently ran, but we all know how that goes.

Don I hadn’t considered a weak ignition, as all my instincts were telling me the fuel pump was bad, but after 3 pumps I have no ideas other than the motor is not creating pulses to power the pump. I have never encountered that before.

I only added the info about the lean sneezing as I wasn’t sure if it was related to the issue at hand.

Once I finish my after work beer, Im going to try to hook up the fuel pressure gauge and see what is going on there.

Thanks all.
