Just a follow up...
So It's been sitting since the weekend. I waited one day, pumped the pedal several times and had a good steady stream. So then yesterday, a few days later I pumped the pedal a few more times and after like the second pump it was kind of sputtering and by the third or fourth pump nothing was coming out.
So just so I'm understanding correctly, would you say that after four or five days of sitting, should there still be enough fuel in the carb to get a steady stream? And if there isn't, it is one of three things... the fuel is evaporating, the fuel is leaking down out of the bowl and into the intake, or the fuel is running back down the fuel line past the fuel pump due to a bad check valve in the fuel pump?
Does that sound right? So because there is little to no fuel left in the carb, I can rule out ignition, plugs, points, etc, as the cause for my hard start problems.
Like I said, I can drive it, and then shut it down and it starts right up. But sitting after a day or two, and I have to manually dump a little gas into the carb to get it to start.
Am I on the right track here?
