hi, I have just bought a Massey furgeson 30-17 4 wheel steer. it looks to be about 15 years old and only has 250 hours. it is equipped with a Briggs 17hp vanguard v twin with the model number 350 777. I am having issued with it running. it ran on choke with the old carb. however after I replaced the carb. it won't run at all on either carbs. if you squirt some fuel in the intake it runs fine however it won't start using either carbs. I have checked for any intake seal leaks and replaced all gaskets around the carb. any ides on what the problem is? possibly electrical?
