I have a DLE 30 which ran great last year. After storing dry for the winter I'm having trouble hand starting it. With a prime it runs great and once run starts on the second or third flip. I checked my tank and fuel lines, replaced the carborator filter screen and diaphram but no cigar. When disassembled the carborator has gas pooled in both the screen and diaphram sides but apparently it's not getting to the engine. When I remove the plug it's slightly damp but not what I'd call wet. I'm relatively new to gas but am learning. I read through some of the posts and if I understand correctly the reed block may be contributing to my problem. Is my assumption correct and what exactly is the reed blocks function.
Thanks for any help,
Rich
