Actually I took the carburetor off a few days back and cleaned it out the best I could. I had some "cut your own" gasket material which I used. This did stop the leaks at the top of the bowl. But there was never one at the bottom of the insulator.

I'm currently getting a hold of a different carburetor that is easier/cheaper to overhaul. That's why I was hoping the current carb could be cleaned sastisfactorly enough to get a fire.

Like Atomarc is guessing, I'm just trying to get everything close enough to get it to run.

The battery is brand new.

While I wait for a better carb. I'll play around with all the variables and everyones input. There is enough goood knowledge on this post that I should get it to fire eventually.

I'll give you a report when I get some better results. Thanks again,

Kyle
