rit,


I suspect that you are not getting fuel. Focus on the carb. It may need a
good cleaning or it may need to be rebuilt. Clearly it starts when primed so
you are getting spark. I think that excludes this key

Thanks, everyone. I'll let you all know how this turns out. I agree
that it's the carb. and I will be cleaning it this weekend. After
that it goes to the shop.

My best experience is to strip the carb, soak overnight (auto store
cleaner kit), compressed air in all jets next, etc....

No need for the shop! It can be made to run again. They are simple
engines. Give them, air, fuel, spark and exhaust. Not much else needed
but maintenance.

Good luck.
