I pulled my carb apart cleaned it best I could? Used a rebuild kit, but I'm not seeing any gas at the jets? It's back on my work bench and I'll pull it back apart. I think something must be clogged. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Brett

Kinda hard to rebuild a carb, especially via the internet. Are you sure its the carb? What about the fuel pump, fuel line, filters, and fuel tank? Have you cleaned everything up? Was it running before? The more information you can provide will help those that are knowledgeable in carburetors.

yes I it ran before. unitl I pumped all the crud from the tank. I've cleaned the tank out and get fresh gas through the filter. Pretty sure it's the carb. thanks Brett

looks like my float was stuck, no letting gas in. Now it seems like it is stuck open and just floods the engine out. any ideas would be great. I'm thinking of going to a new manifold and carb. Thanks Brett

seems like it'd be a lot cheaper to cure the problem, sounds like you didn't get all the junk out and some is keeping the needle from seating properly

Thanks for all the advice.Pulled it apart 2 more times, the last one I noticed the float looked crooked. Yup I must have bent it during first rebuild. A little cranking and Betsy fired right up. Stovebolters are the Best! Thank You Brett.
