Same problem though. Petrol not reaching the cylinder. Fires up with fuel injected into the cylinder through the plug hole.

 

Should you be able to blow through the petrol carb intake, using your mouth? I can't.

 

 

While you are doing what Spud says, with the metering chamber cover off, try your blow through test and lightly press the end of the metering arm at the same time (so you are manually opening the metering valve). That should allow you to blow through the pump side of the carb and through to the metering side.

Carb off, then remove the carb plate against the cylinder, here you will find the impulse seal and the rubber inlet tube, check both for splits and cracks.

Just replaced my second carburettor. Very cheap and came with air filter, etc.

I feel a bit of a failure though. Tried everything to fix the latest problem.

Still, it's working fine now.
