Engine sat for 4 years. Will fire and run on starting fluid. Carb is clean and regasketed.<br />Float bowl is filling. Fuel pump is working fine. Is not getting fuel to cylinders. Where do I go next.

Keep it choked fully till it fires off.

I'll bet you missed the tiny jet holes in the carb throat.<br /><br />Do not use starting fluid, it washes all the lube off the bearings and cylinder walls. Use some fuel mix in a Windex bottle.<br /><br />Good luck. :)
