Okay so this engine is doing my head in. I rebuilt the stock carb, and that would allow the engine to run fast for 5 seconds and then die. Mind you during those 5 seconds it was running strong with sputtering or anything else. Basically it was dumping so much fuel into the intake it was flooding the engine out. I admitted my own failure and got a rebuilt carb. With the rebuilt installed it will start and run at a low rpm and then die. At this point I have no idea what the heck is going on. The fuel tank is a clean 5 gal fuel can with all new fuel lines except for the one leading from the pump to the carb. However I flushed that line and have a filter between it and the carb to keep anything I may have missed during the flush out of the carb itself. Below is a vid of it running with the first carb that was flooding it out.
After it died with the rebuilt carb I looked into the carb itself opened the throttle and it sprayed a jet of fuel into the intake like it was supposed to so I know the carb is full of fuel. The electrical system is all new as well, plugs, wires, condenser, points, coil. I am really at a loss as to why this engine will not run.
Why bring a gun to a knife fight when you can bring a howitzer?
