Hey all. I have had problems with this engine all summer. We have been too busy to go out much, so it sat for 4 weeks. The fuel tank did expand to much (thanks EPA) and fuel did leak out of the engine. I tried to start, and it fired, but would not stay running, then stopped trying altogether. It keeps flooding, I checked spark. Both plugs are getting great spark. I did rebuild the carbs today. It will sputter, but will not start, If I disconnect the fuel line, I can get it to fire a few times, then when I hook the fuel line up It will not even fire. I checked the combustion chamber for compression. get 90 both cylinders.

I am at a loss. I am supposed to be leaving next friday for Torch lake in michigan, and am desperate to get this fixed. Any help will be appreciated.
