4 psi to the top carb
When checking the bottom carb (which tee's through the top carb) the reading was also 4 psi while cranking but dropped and held at 2 psi when I stopped cranking.
I pulled the reed boxes and found several broken reeds in both the top and bottom. One was snapped off completely but I cannot find any of the peices. I think installing new reeds will solve my starting problem but what about the missing broken parts. Do I have to pull the pistons out ?
That was going to be my next suggestion , I need to see the fuel/air flow in your motor , I know you do not have to pull the pistons ect but there may be a cleaning procedure if you are missing large pieces .
