So I finally got my rusted pistons out and put new rings on and honed the cylinders.
I checked the compression, its a little bit over 60 on both (61 and 62 respectively)
I have checked for spark and both plugs are getting spark.
But for some reason I still cannot get it to fire up.
I have gone through the carb three times now and cannot find anything wrong, but it seems like it is not getting fuel to the plugs. And even if it is, it isn't getting enough.
What would cause this? There is fuel in the bowl and what seems the rest of the carb, expect where it enters the motor.
I thought maybe the reed valves, but it seems the are ok as well.
I have the low speed set at 1/2 turn out and the high speed set at 4 facing up (this is what I read is good to start with)
The one thing I am not sure is which order the spark plugs go in. Although I have tried both ways on every adjustment I have tried.
It doesn't even try to start up, any ideas on what I could check?
