when that fuel is left in the lines etc for a long time, it turns to a sort of jelly lol.,
Well ive already cleaned the fuel system out, whilst waiting for the replacement pull start i took the opportunity to strip the whole lot and clean it, soaked the fuel tank and rinsed it several times before drying it out, same with the fuel lines! So all that should be ok! It definately gets fuel to the carb/engine as when I pull the pull start with no plug in it shoots fuel out of the top of the engine which as I understand means the fueling side of things works ok?!
Its so frustrating as I know its pretty close to running, the only thing I cant quite get my head round yet is the carb settings!
