BigD?? I drained and changed the oil.The gas tank was already empty but removed the carburetor bowl emptied it and cleaned. Fresh gas. Removed and cleaned the spark plug. Can't get it to crank for shit. Removed air filter just to get it started. Any other ideas?? [/quote] Has it been sitting with gas in it over a year? Use some spray carburetor cleaner and make sure you clean out the jets in the carb when the bowl is off and if possible spray out the carb. Did you check what the spark plug looks like? does it try to fire? Is the plug clean? :clintyes: [/quote] No I drained the tank when I put it up. Got it to crank and run for about 30 seconds with a quick blast of ether. I just cleaned the bowl and float. Looks like I'll have to pull the carb and do a thorough cleaning of it. Spark plug is good. [/quote] Is gas getting through the filter? Seems odd the carb would need cleaning if you drained it? Float stuck? [/quote] Hooked the gas line up with the bowl off and had gas coming in. Float worked fine. I thought my troubles were over when it finally cranked up and ran. Was even able to turn the choke off and it smoothed out just fine. Then it died and won't start again. Can get it to turn over with an ether inject but dies right after. I've done got aggravated with it LOL. and I don't like doing the ether spray to much. [/quote]
Original Message
I accidentally deleted the OP of this thread during some glitch issues on GLP this morning (10/30/17).
I will be posting some useful links in the next post to make it easier for those posting so you don't have to scroll through a massive OP. :)
I had to delete the first two comments on this thread to do so, but wanted to keep them so I've put them below.
5* and I'm on board.. Simple.. I'm sorry about CH.. He will be missed greatly..

Thank you!!! Simple... I will be here.....

I also would like to mention that I know this thread has MANY pages and that it can be somewhat intimidating to join/chime in on a long standing thread as a new member/AC (I've experienced it when I first joined GLP), but we are a VERY welcoming group to those who newly join us. We are a small family of sorts who are all mostly interested in the same earth-related topics (quakes/solar/volcanoes/weather/etc.) and share info on each of those topics as well as 'off-topic' discussions. We genuinely care for one another here and even when we do not agree with each other, we ALWAYS respect each other.
I truly enjoy when new folks join us here. All that I ask is to show respect. :)
