Clean/replace your air-filter, If you get gas then great but if you don't get air then.... well you just can't breathe without air. Then you need to double check your float height. But more importantly, make sure that the float plunger isn't binding, that cause a few hours of grief for me once. Do as I say and not as I do... change one thing at a time... you're new here so you won't get that "inside joke" but check the archives for a clear picture. LaterZ Dash
