anyone familiar with this particular flywheel key?

What is your problem?

Right now so far it looks like I'm not getting any fuel. It's not getting to the bowl even though got spark and flywheel key looks good. So I've got like two other carbs that I don't recall couldn't get fuel. So I'll pop on in tomorrow and see what happens

In another post I mention how I can get it started with carb spray but doesn't stay running

If I take it out and blow through the fuel inlet should I expect it to be clogged? Could the float valve be stuck or something?

The main brass jet is probably clogged. It screws in to the card from where the bowl nut goes.

Really? I thought that jet gets fuel from the bowl no?

Sometimes I think posters don't even need to take the effort to get out bed at times. Especially when they have no idea of what they are doing.

From the service manual....

thanks. where did you get that?

anyway, got fuel into the bowl. maybe i freed some debris but not it seems to over flow into the main area out into the air filter. I found the needle valve to work against my lungs through a tube on the fuel inlet so not sure what that means. I have two other carburetors I test with...

The Kohler XT series service manual. DUH

Jets submerged in fuel or not will clog over time.
