[tashasdaddy]

nephew bought cherry, 99 gp800, super clean, and condition. been sitting, not getting fuel to engine. will start with a little fuel in cylinders. but not sucking from tank. compression 140 both, excellent spark. i'm new to this set up. is there a primer?

thanks for the link. removed flame arrestor, poured some premix, in carbs, and it fired right up, and ran like a champ.

the carbs will probably need new diaphragms and the internal filters cleaned
