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.

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. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 132 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 132 | 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 | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 132 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 132 | 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.

Yup I must have bent it during first rebuild. A little cranking and Betsy fired right up. Stovebolters are the Best! Thank You Brett. | | |
