Not getting gas?? Squeezie pumping up?Ethanol screwing up stuff.
One thing I try is tilt the motor all the way up.Then squeeze the ball untill gas squirts out the front of the carb.Then put it down then continue to squeeze till the ball is hard.
Then turn key and push in the choke.Oh yea hook up water to the motor.J

WOLF....

Check this out ...

If you are getting spark then you need one of two things..

Fuel and Air ...

If you feel vaccum at the carbs then you are getting air...

The last thing is Fuel...

If your setup is like mine with the plug in fuel line.. I found I was not getting fuel delivery because the male and female fuel line connectors were not working properly. I actually had to push on my connector and then pump the bulb to get fuel to the carb ...

I even gave it a couple of shots of Engine Starting Fluid.. But it really didn't start running until I found that my fuel connectors were messed up..

Let us know..
