I just bought this motor and at first it wouldnt fire at all. If I spray "non ether" starting fluid into the front of the carb it will start for a few seconds but while its starting it seems like it is cutting off.. I have good spark, compression, and I believe its getting fuel. I took the carb apart and inspected it really good. I know the float bowl is filling up. Any I deas would be a big help.Also wich piston is the # 1 piston? Top or bottom?
