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

When did it last run?
Is it a 2-stoke?

4

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

It would think its gravity fed. Try a little starting fluid in the carb

Anybody know how to check if a clutch cable is broken? Geo tracker. I went to leave this morning, pressed the clutch and heard a snap. Now it won't go into gear at all. It feels like it's been stretching the past couple weeks as its progressively gotten harder to shift. Did I answer my own question.. I've done extensive work on it, but have no experience in dealing with the clutch. Thanks.

@Sonic#0818 how much play in the pedal?

There is obviously 2 ends to the cable one at the pedal and one at the bell housing. Get some one to press the pedal in and out while you watch the other end to see if it moves the clutch fork.
