Anyways , you said you " Primed the carby " but didn't detail how . It should have started briefly from fuel added to the carby . If so , the rest is dead bang simple . If it never even coughed , go rustle up a used spark plug form the floor of the garage & connect it to the longest plug wire & prop it well against the engine , turn on the key and crank it a bit , regular rythmic blue or white sparks should been seen in the gap else there's a no spark issue . If you see blue / white sparks , re - attach the plug wire & remove the air filter , prop the throttle open and place the flat palm of your hand over the carby , key on , crank it until you feel gasoline wetting your palm , the engine's max. vacuum afforded by open throttle & palm sealing the air horn , will draw fuel from the tank & prime & fill the fuel pump & carby , once you feel the gas wetting your palm , remove your hand and it should cough to life shortly , don't let it run long with the throttle propped open ! . I hope you're healing well ! . -Nate Lon Wrote : Hey Group, Let my truck sit for over 10-months pre/post Shoulder Surgery (I can hear Nate shaking his head as he reads this). I have charged the battery. I drained the gas. fresh gas. Replaced the fuel filter. primed the carburator. It turns but won't start. When I look at the fuel filter it is bone dry. . . ? So . . . . 1) Clogged fuelline? 2) Bad Fuel Pump? 3) "Before you start it, you have to also ___________" 4) "You can also try _________________" 5) "Who are you and how did you get into our group?" I'm sure you all can help. I feel like child at the adult table most of the time, but I am learning from you all, as the problems arise.
