Engine wont start, dont know what else to do (Read 507 times)

Either one of those not working and it won't crank even if the cows never come home.

My buddy of mine with the compression guage came over, compression 160. He sprayed starting fluid (ether) in the airbox, and it ran on the starting fluid but not regular gas. so the gas was getting in the carb, just not into the engine. So i proceded with another carb clean, when i cleaned it the first time i just took off the float bowl and the diaphram on the top. I didnt really fell comfortable doing anymore since this was taking apart a carb for my first time. this time i took off everything, going by the manual. when i got to the main jet (i thought it was just a screw) i tried spraying carb cleaner through, but nothing went through. so i used a small sewing needle and poked it in, and out came a bunch of black crap. O Wow, theres supposed to be a hole there! O, so thats where the fuel goes through to get to the carb and engine. Problem found and fixed. Started right up and ran like a champ. Thanks for the advice.

Might want to run some kind of fuel treatment through to get the rest of the crud out. Note: there is a screen on the inlet to the carb at the needle valve. If you get high speed performance issues , you may want to check that.
