Pull start?
aye
but that's a good point
i havent looked into the cylinder while pulling
Gas sitting for a while makes me thing somewhere between tank and cylinder the flow is plugged.
Plus, no primer to force shit through
me too but I took the carb off the tank and cleaned the line (which is just a straw)
Need to verify fuel in cylinder
And the exit of the tank could be clogged
Could have an in-tank fuel filter
kk will report back on that. 9/10 small engine issues ive ever had are fuel flow problems
it does
I took it out
Could still be plugged
At the tank exit maybe
Lack of primer is stupid
old
Old shit had primers
There's pic of fuel straw (34 I think)
Lemme check cylinder for fuel and i'll report back tomorrw

See, I knew it wasn’t old. Old stuff was 2 stroke and had a primer.
Did you change the oil and filter?
aye
When you pull, is the resistance normal? Do you feel the compression pulses? Does the exhaust go “blop blop blop”?
Air filter, is it good?
Yes, no, no
yes
Is the underside of the air filter good?
Like, the compartment when you remove the air filter?
clean, plus i tested w/o filter on
i feel like it's a fuel issue but i can't figure out why it would be
Something is plugged that you haven’t verified
When you remove the straw, does fuel spill out?
Well, you can't really remove the straw without taking the carb off so it's tricky to tell but when i did take the carb off, the straw was clear
🤔
Pull spark plug and verify fuel in cylinder. Pull starter with spark plug out. Note if the resistance is any less with spark plug out. You could also unbolt the exhaust to eliminate a variable.
Ok thanks I'll check in tomorrow
Lemme ask a question I should probably already know the answer to - without a primer bulb and without a fuel pump, is it really just the piston stroke that's supposed to draw that gasoline all the way up the straw, through the carb, and into the cylinder?
Feel like that would take quite a seal
