'jumped' it off my car directly, *ignition*.... puf puf purrrff pufff... thats a good sign... again... .purrrr puff puf pum pum pum... running... dies... FU#K... again... pur y....e..... fu....
Checked the oil at this point... leaned towards middle and checked, above center of eyepeice, poured some out and notice a HUGE wet spot (nope, didn't piss myself) apperantly gas poured into the air box... but how...
I was thinking about the dilema, and I wonder if it was related to the brass tube somehow
Ok, so you gotta new2u carb, one that's been sitting in a unknown condition for who knows how long. We're back to square one.
add seafoam, let sit. try again.
since you had the carb in your hands... did you clean it before?
what jets are in it?
how is the idle mixture screw set?
I think the petcock is a mute issue, you got it set to prime, pull the hose and plug the port. remember to return it to "on" when you quit messin' with it.
BTW, there's still gas in the tank? Cause I'd hate to tell to put the bike back in the box and return it to the store.
Carb is clean, was cleaned by the seller before he sent it to me, and I cleaned it after
Idle screw is in all the way
The screw thats opposite of choke is set to 2 turns out
gas, yes there is gas
Seafoamed already once, added seafoam yesterday before I left, and I just added some while adding new petrol
tested petcock, had hose plugged and bought little caps for the carb end, sucked on hose got no gas in my mouth... bike also did not start up/run any better.
