Any ideas what could be wrong? Carb cleanout and rebuild necessary?


After two years of setting dry and unattended, I'd guess the carb float
is at best stuck and other issues as well. I'm thinking these would
still have a manual accelerator pump as well.


dpb, here's where I am lost.

The carburetor, visibly, does NOT have a bowl. It does, however, have
those electric valves on top. It might have a bowl, but its location
is not obvious or visible.


Almost certainly it is the TBI - Throttle Body Injection - early fuel
injection setup.

Looks like this:
