Bob suggested I give it a whack and I gave it a few but still no gas in he
picture. Is there a preferred way and place to whack the carb ? Any next
step ,or is it time to remove it.









Sir: Next step would be use a real metal hammer. A sharp smack or
two-three- close to the fuel inlet. Try not to hit the fuel filter housing
as the threads are weak. The fuel float is behind the filter. Smack it on
the side and top hard enough to shock the needle from the seat. I did a
boat motor yesterday that had sat for a year. Maybe turn the engine over
while you are doing it. It should work.
Good luck
