*I have Spark
*The governor and oil sensor are removed.
*Compression tests (done cold) yield 60psi.
*I adjusted the valve leash to spec 8/1000 exhaust 6/1000 intake.
*The valve cover does not have a gasket on it, but I don't see how that would prevent it from starting.
The ENGINE BRIEFLY RUNS OF A SQUIRT OF STARTER FLUID, then dies, as expected.
Thus, u guys would probably say its a fuel problem? However, the carb is brand new and clean, no debris, etc.
I am stumped. I have tried squirting the starter fluid into the air filter and it doesn't turn over, it only turns over when squirting directly into the intake manifold. But I inspected the air filter and everything and its clean.
Perhaps I should drill start it instead; I've been pull starting it since...
