u/fittank

Hey all,

At my wits end here. My machine ran great, then it sat for a few years.

Before I tried to start it again I decided to rebuild the stock carb. When I'd try to start it, only way I could get it to even try to start was with the throttle cracked a bit.

I wasn't confident in my carb rebuild so I replaced it with a chinese carb, I have a new plastic tank and a new petcock.

The new carb has the exact same problem, regardless of choke setting, only starts with throttle cracked and will run for about 5 seconds then die immediately.

I tried messing with the idle but seems to be the same.

Any idea where I should go from here?
