Re: [FWDLK] Carburetor Problems

[John McCann <jmccann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   With the engine off take off your air cleaner and look down the throat 
of the carburetor and manually open the throttle with the linkage and see if 
there is a stream of fuel shooting into the throat of the carburetor, if 
not, you need to change the cup on the accelerator pump or spread it so it 
works properly, that will probably cure your problem.
