before you read this..... Im not very mechanically inclined.....

I heard that the tiny tube that spits gas into the carb needs to be adjusted just right otherwise it will shoot the gas and choke it up.....

might check that out??!?

If it a mechanical pump.You can run a hose from the pump to a coke bottle and turned the engine over, a electric
fuel pump you can just put power to see how much it is delivering... If any.

Another thing, if the carb has sat a while the float could be stuck in the closed position.

Only other thing I can think of is the bypass, air correction jet or the pump diaphragm. The main jet could be stopped up to that

Carb cleaner & some air pressure will clear most debris.
If you can spray the ports & passages back towards the fuel bowl. That may
help unclog them. Blowing the other way may just push the debris deeper into
carb.


How does the carb bowl look?
If it is really gummed up, it may need a soak in a carb cleaner over night.
