I planed to take my B to a show a few weeks ago. I always drain as much gas as possible and run it until the gas is burned out of the carb. When I tried to start it, it would fire for about 2 seconds and die. I pulled the carb and blew out the passages, didn't see any junk in it. Put it back on, same thing. I am running just purchased, no alcohol gas.

Do any of you have an idea of what could be the problem? TIA

Btw, I'm also JohnCo, I keep having to change my name to get on.

Not actually being able to see what's happing first hand, I'll tell you that often what you think is a fuel issue turns out to be an ignition issue and what you think is an ignition problem turns out to be fuel related.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY
