Re: ice freeze up

Ok so I came to the conclusion that it is not getting fuel not sure if out of gas or not I will try that first and go from there
I found this by pulling the clear line of the carburetor off and trying to start and got no fuel

The only clear line on the carb comes from the fuel pump diaphragm. If the diaphragm ruptures then you will see fuel in the line, and only then. You should have a metal line going from the fuel filter to the carb.

Since we don't know what kind of engine you have things could change
