Choke closes fully and air filter is new. It will run a few minutes if you find the perfect choke setting (3/4) and throttle is a little over 1/2. Has a fresh oil change and has always been kept in a garage.
Engine will run until fuel is out of carb. Fuel Solenoid has 12vdc but gets pretty hot when trying to start it. Fuel lines are good with a new filter. New gas cap and fresh premium fuel... could an intake valve cause a no flow issue? How about a plugged exhaust? Scratching my head...
