[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 407901, member: 3278"] You have spark, but is it at the right time....more on that later. You have compression You HAVENT run the engine in 3 months....plenty of time for the carb to varnish up. As far as the fuel pump goes...nope. When you squeeze the primer bulb it will fill the fuel bow. Same as the pump would. So, the fuel pump has nothing to do with an [u]initial start[/u] issue. Once the fuel bowl is full (if it indeed is) if the passages in the carb are not plugged it should fire. Fuel bowl Full?? Second....that choke knob is very easy to install upside down. The wide gap should face up. If it is facing down the choke will never completely close making it very hard to start if at all. That should give you some things to check. [/QUOTE]
