[QUOTE="Nordpirat, post: 345256, member: 13701"] I got the adjustable spark tester from advanced it showed a beautiful spark across a 3/8" gap. If i pour fuel directly into the air intake it will idle until i stop pouring the fuel into it. Motor sounds strong as its idling. I believe the problem is the tiny little tube that goes from SS port to the carb bowl may be clogged up. Carb has been soaking in carb cleaner for a while now and im going to try pushing some wire through all the little valleys in the carb to make sure they are clear. I have been tinkering with this little baby since thursday and i cant think of anything else it could be. I have mixed seafoam into the mix so once i get her running it will hopefully stay clean from now on. [/QUOTE]
