been having few issues here and there and now finnaly it wont even fire up at al


checked the spark plug for sparks i can see it sparking when i turn it over


checked to see if fuel is going through yes it is since it eventually gets flooded


tried 5 times unflooded and then floods eventually


checked the fuel tank cap


all the gaskets are stock brand new everything is tight all the bolts

When there is a problem starting, it is good to go back to the base carb settings.

the base carb settings are 1 1/4 on the low and 1 1/2 on the high. also check and see if your filter is getting soaked with fuel, i had that problem and it was cuz my cap wasnt venting correctly

i cleaned the cap and the tiny hole stuck a needle thru it

and it just keeps flooding eventually i unflood and try same results

put in a new plug on it also..
