Ok i soaked my carb in dentured alchol, set my carb setting back to stock and i still have a problem. The carb will not let fuel in. I take the fuel line off the carb, put my finger on the stinger, and pull. My result fuel goes all the way threw the fuel line like it should. I put the fuel line back on the carb and it will not let fuel reach the carb. Can someone help me?
 
Damn and it still dont work??? Well have you tried to lean it out now after soaking it, cause when putting it back to stock it is REALLY REALLY FAT aka. RICH.... Try leaning it out....
 
When you replaced the carb, did you seal it? Was the O-ring still on it? Did you press down hard on the neck of the carb to squeeze the O-ring enough to make a good seal?
It sounds to me like you have a leak since it will go through the line, but not into the carb.
You might want to try richening the LSN, and checking your idle setting just to make sure the carb is opening correctly.
 
Here are a few things to try....

1) attach a clean fuel line to the nipple on the carb and blow in the other end. You should hear or feel the air flowing though the nipple into the carb. If not you have a blockage there.
2) Take the aircleaner off the carb and place a clean finger over the opening and pull the pullstart. You should feel a slight sucking as the piston goes up n down. (dont get gross here...you know what I'm talking about) If not there may be an air leak somewhere.
 
No the fuel goes out of the tank threqw the fuel line then past the fuel filter and stops it wont go any farther. Ros yes i do have compression. Wirth the fuel line disattached from the fuel nipple on the carb when i blow onto the pressure line the fuel will go threw. But with the line attached rto the nipple it will only go half way. When i blow on the pressure line when the fuel line is attched it is hard as poop to blow and the fuel only goes half way threw and stops.
 
Again, just for testing purposes, open the LSN some more, and open the idle adjustment more. Do the pressure test again. If you still don't get fuel in the engine at this point, you still have a clog in the carb, and will need to clean it out some more.
It's sounding more like a clog than a leak at this point.
 
I did the blow test. Put a clean piece of fuel line on the nipple and blow. I couldnot not blow the nipple wouldent let any air in

Rolex you are awsome. I opened the lsn all the way and sure enough fuel went styraight. Between mach and rolex my storm drinks gas agian. Thank you so much.
 
then take the carb off and take some compressed air and give it a good little blast of air................From what we are hearing you most likely have a piece of dirt or some thing
 
Thae lsn was so lean it wasn't letting any fuel in
 
I don't accept personal checks or Pay Pal. Cash or money orders only.
But, since you seem so genuinely pleased and thankful, I'll give you this one....this time.
