You need to remove your fuel line at the carb end to see if you are getting fuel.Then we can go from there.

:cool:

OK, so remove the hose on the carb and then put the petcock in the prime position? I assume I don't actually try to start it not hooked up, but I have no clue. Thanks.

The spark plug will foul if choked too much and not starting.

Yes,that way you can verify that fuel is getting to the carb.When you put it on "pri" the fuel should flow.

When you put the tank back on, did you reconnect the vacuum hose to the petcock?

I reconnected both hoses (fuel and vacuum). I know that fuel is flowing from the tank through the fuel hose in the prime position, but I will disconnect the hose from the carb as suggested earlier (I believe you're talking about a different fuel hose than the one that connects from the petcock/tank, right? Correct me if it's one and the same).

There is only one fuel hose.From the petcock to the carb.

Well, then I'm 100% certain that fuel is running when in the prime position.

OK,next you will want to check for to see if the plug is firing.Take out the plug & lay it (ground it)against the side of the engine.Try to start the engine.You should be able to see a blue spark jump across the plug.
