    fuel squirts fine but its just weird why im hearing that and feeling the fuel line buzz every couple seconds maybe some restriction in the carb causing build up of pressure ? Also how can i fix that high idle, i tried fiddling with the idle mixture screw and the other idle screw at the linkage...

    ok i got it to run by adjusting the idle mixture screw turned it counterclockwise about 2 times and it ran!! But rough and high idle over 1000rpm even after couple min of running. Also its hard to start up again unless i pump it couple times? I can hear and feel the fuel line every 2 or 3...
