After a looong winters nap I tried starting The Beast. Nada.
Engine spins, I have spark, but apparently no fuel at the carb.
I changed out the carb filter. UGLY! Still no fuel. Even shot starting fluid into the carb, only got a slight hiccup.
So, I'll go upstream, see if the electric fuel pump is working, go from there. And yes, I supposedly have 3/4 tank of gas.
Any other suggestions?
