Re: Starving for Gas and getting worse!

Steeveedee-

Yes, you read that correctly. Before I primed the carb with about 2 shots worth of fuel, I tried to start it one more time. It cranked strong, wanting to start. But you can tell it wasn't getting fuel.

Once I put just a little fuel in, it fired up and continued running long enough to get me home 3 blocks away. (It was still faltering, but it got me home nonetheless.)

I'm not sure if I have BOTH an electrical problem AND a fuel problem...or just a fuel problem.
